A strange scene took place on the night of Tuesday, November 5 in front of the University Hospital Center of Fez. A woman gave birth to a newborn in the street, after the security guard refused her access to the obstetrics department.

A video circulated on social networks shows how a young woman from Sefrou gave birth in the street and in deplorable conditions, with the help of several other women who were present.

Addressing the Minister of Health, former director of the Fez CHU, the author of the video questions the reasons that motivated the refusal of the staff to admit the patient.

The condition of the woman and the baby is not yet known, and the Ministry of Health has not yet reacted to the release of this video.
