During the summer of 2020, when travel was restricted because of COVID, Volunteer Morocco was honored to collaborate with The Paul Chester Children’s Hope Foundation to successfully send a container filled with medical equipment valued at $160,000.00 for the benefit of the Moroccan people to the public hospitals, Hassan II Hospital in Agadir and Moulay Abdullah Hospital in Essawira.
This container included an Alcon Infiniti Vision Cataract Extraction Unit which has been utilized at Hassan II Hospital in Agadir with more than 500 surgeries so far under the supervision of Professor Omar Moulay Moustaine.
Many people and organizations need to be thanked for their contribution to this gift to Morocco. This includes those who donated to the container as well as those who helped with the necessary paperwork and government bureaucracy required to safely transport and deliver the container to Morocco.
