Morocco to Launch Africa’s First Global Stem Cell Center

This center will be dedicated to the extraction and transplantation of stem cells, as well as a special bank to store them. The agreement for its creation was concluded on Saturday, February 24 at the Mohammed VI University of Health Sciences in Casablanca, according to the media Kifache.

It should be noted that the first African International Symposium on Stem Cells was held at the end of 2018 at the Academy of the Kingdom of Morocco and the Hassan II Academy of Science and Technology in Rabat, at the initiative of the Center for Regenerative Medicine (CMR). This meeting was an opportunity to promote the stem cell or Stem Cells technique. A technique that has been used for some time in the treatment of several diseases considered incurable until not so long ago. Stem cells are also used in cosmetics.

Although some debates on the ethics surrounding this revolutionary technique remain, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s... and a whole host of other pathologies could well have a cure if medical research follows this at least promising path. According to some experts, stem cells are already able to cure many chronic diseases.
