Medicines, Hospitals


Hospital

The medical facility network in Morocco includes 122 hospitals, 2,400 health centers, and 4 university clinics. There is a need for more facilities and supplies as most are not properly maintained and lack adequate capacity to meet nation's needs. There are some private care facilities that offer better standards, but they usually cost more than the average Moroccan can afford.

Ambulance Service

There is public ambulance service that is available by dialing 15. You can also use private ambulance companies which offers more reliable, but much more expensive, service.

Specialist

Pharmacy

General pharmacies in Casablanca operate Monday to Friday 8:30 to 12:30 and 15:30 to 20:00; Saturday 8:30 to 13:00. Most commonly used medicines can be found in Morocco, but some of the newer prescription medications may not be available. It may be extremely difficult to obtain medications in rural areas. Pharmacy hours are regulated and it may be difficult to find one open during the weekend.

Emergency Night Pharmacies (Pharmacie de Nuit)

Pharmacies are open after hours on a roster system. A list of open pharmacies are posted on the front door.
