The Lalla Oumkeltoum Foundation for Mental Health and the Health Ministry signed on Friday a framework partnership agreement to promote Mental Health Care in Morocco.
This partnership agreement forms part of the implementation of the “Mental Health Plan 2030,” launched by the Ministry of Health and the Foundation’s Strategic Action Plan.
The agreement was signed during the visit Princess Lalla Oumkeltoum, president of the Lalla Oumkeltoum Foundation for Mental Health, paid to the new 120-bed psychiatric hospital of Kenitra. The facility is intended to reinforce healthcare services, particularly in the area of mental health, for the Rabat-Salé-Kenitra region.
Princess Lalla Oumkeltoum toured the outpatient clinic building, the day hospital for the elderly, the functional diagnostics department, and the addiction treatment department, where she was briefed on these facilities’ operations, the services provided to patients, and the conditions for admission and care.
The Lalla Oumkeltoum Foundation aims to promote mental health, in line with the royal care for people in situations of psychological vulnerability.
In accordance with its statutes, the Foundation is also dedicated to carrying out initiatives aimed at raising awareness, prevention, support, and assisting people with mental disorders as well as their families.
