Medical Missions - Summer 2022
Our first Post-Covid activities included a Surgical Mission and an Ophthalmology Mission.
These were highly successful and Volunteer Morocco was able to arrange for local hospitals and clinics and Moroccan doctors and surgeons to accommodate these two missions.
The Surgical Mission held at the Inzegane Hospital, Hassan II Hospital, where more than 75 surgeries were performed in the following specialties: ENT, Orthopedic, Gynecology, and Plastic/Reconstructive was extremely successful.
The Ophthalmology Mission, also held in the Agadir are, preformed over 180 procedures as well as holding 4 conferences and a Corneal transplant workshop for local doctors.
Part of this mission included the transport a container of over $500,000 worth of medical equipment that was used during the mission and then left with the hospitals and clinics for their continued use.
Both of these missions will be back in Morocco this summer and Volunteer Morocco is looking for donations to help support the missions and the shipment of medical supplies and equipment to assist the mission surgenons and to be left behind at the hospitals who will sponsor these programs.
