Taroudant - The Sheikh Khalifa Ben Zayed Al-Nahyane Hospital in Casablanca, Morocco's largest private hospital, will gradually open its services starting from March 23.
The hospital was inaugurated on Tuesday, March 17 by the King Mohammed VI and Sheikh Mohammed Ben Zayed Al-Nahyane, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and deputy supreme commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
According to Dr. Al Sharif Chefchaouni Mountassir, Morocco's largest private hospital was built "with respect to the international standards and equipped with the most advanced and more modern medical and surgical equipment."

For most of Moroccans, "the costs of health care will not be cheap," said Dr. Al Sharif Chefchaouni Mountassir. He added that the prices of checkups will be “the same as in Casablanca clinics," and the price for a specialist consultation will cost 300 dirhams.
