Offer of oral health care in Rabat strengthened by new center

King Mohammed VI inaugurated, on Thursday in Yaacoub El Mansour district in Rabat, the Regional Center for Dental Care, carried out by the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity.

The new center, the first of its kind in Morocco, required a 25 million dirham investment.

The project mirrors the royal keenness to reinforce the dental care offer in the region of Rabat-Sale-Kenitra through the setting up of community-based quality medical services that meet the citizens’ needs.

It is also in line with efforts made by the monarch to promote access of the underprivileged, mainly the elderly, poor students and disabled people, to dental care, to reinforce the dental health system, and to integrate it in public health.

The center will provide quality dental care for kids and adults in the Rabat-Sale-Kenitra region. It will be also involved in actions of prevention, information and awareness-raising about tobacco risks, self-medication and dental health.

The center includes units for dental emergencies (consultations, outpatient hospital), a radiology unit, consultation and dental surgery units for adults, an orthodontics unit for kids, and various other facilities and labs.
