Last month she was happy and enjoying her life, studying hard for her exams, planning to leave University in July 2018.

Not feeling well after a few headaches and periods of vomiting, and a visit to a doctor and referal to hospital, today on 5th March 2018 she has been diagnosed with a brain tumour.

In Morocco Public hospitals are decrepit and lack doctors, equipment and medicine, and fewer than 30 percent of Moroccans have health insurance coverage.

In the public hospital often people holding prescriptions beg passers-by to help them buy medicine, some patients offer bribes of the equivalent of a dollar or two to guards who could help them skirt hours in waiting lines.

This was a a day at a public hospital in Cassablanca

”There aren’t enough doctors or equipment and the state is not showing any will to improve the current conditions,” he added.

On the day that the king visited Ibn Rochd, a university hospital that is something of a showcase for Morocco’s public health system, a woman was screaming at hospital employees for attention at a nearby blood transfusion center. She said her mother was in a surgical unit at a hospital half an hour away and she urgently needed to buy blood so that the doctors could operate.

“The hospital doesn’t have any blood, and the center does not have enough available blood,” said the woman, who gave her name as Nora, 30. “We donated our blood and have been waiting for hours and we still don’t know when we will get what we need.

“My mother is going to die if we don’t get the blood back to the hospital fast enough.”

A few miles away, in the emergency room of Mohamed Baouafi Hospital, a patient who identified herself only as Hada, 69, said she had been hit by a car. She sat waiting on an old examination bed with no sheets, begging fruitlessly for an injection to kill the pain.

A group of trainee doctors in the hallway were discussing a recent case of a baby with breathing problems. Lacking a respirator, all they had been able to do was rub his chest. The infant had died.

“Monitors don’t even work,” said one of the doctors. “Once, the machine in pediatrics indicated 265” as a pulse, “which doesn’t even exist — and the baby was already dead. We didn’t realize he was dead right away.”

Critics charge that the system is crippled by corruption, both large and small. The Central Commission for the Prevention of Corruption, a Moroccan governmental institution, published an investigation in 2011 on corruption in the health sector. Three people out of 10 said they had resorted to bribery to receive health care.

“There is a lot of small corruption in these hospitals because doctors and nurses are not paid well,” Dr. Naciri Bennani of the doctor’s union said.
