Hospital Employee Dies After Alleged Denial of Care Over Unpaid Guarantee in Rabat

An employee of the Cheikh Zayed Hospital in Rabat died following severe hypotension. The administration would have refused to take him in charge, for lack of a guarantee check.

According to the weekly Al Ousboue assahafi, instead of being transferred to the intensive care unit, the victim was kept in the emergency room despite his critical condition because he did not have a guarantee check.

The weekly adds that the Democratic Labor Organization denounced the lack of assistance to a person in danger, under the cover of the absence of a guarantee check. It described the situation as a scandal contrary to international human rights treaties.

The trade union organization has called for an investigation to identify the perpetrators of this act that touches on the right to life, and then bring them to justice.
