Morocco’s Health Minister Covers Treatment for Teen Cancer Patient

Wednesday 25 September 2019, by Kamal

A very nice initiative on the part of the Ministry of Health, which has decided to cover the cost of care for a girl suffering from bone cancer.

The Minister of Health, Anas Doukkali, insisted that the young Rihab Erraji, aged 18, be able to regain a normal life and resume her schooling.

Young Rihab had launched an appeal for help to the health authorities and benefactors some time ago in order to help her overcome her ordeal facing a disease that affected her knee.

Due to the high cost of treatment, estimated at nearly 500,000 dirhams, the young patient’s family, from Al Hoceima, was unable to meet the charges.
