Dozens Hospitalized After Suspected Fruit-Related Food Poisoning in Morocco

Faced with this situation, the hospital mobilized all its medical and nursing staff to care for these patients, indicates the Map. Several ambulances were also deployed to ensure the transfer of the most urgent cases. The patients are currently in stable condition, according to the hospital sources cited by the same source.
