Calls to keep Hassani hospital services as Selouane facility opens

Debate is intensifying in Nador province over the future of health services ahead of the opening of the new provincial hospital in Selouane.
Local stakeholders are calling for essential services to be kept at Hassani hospital, arguing that a full transfer would complicate access to care for vulnerable groups, especially in emergencies or at night.
In Bni Ansar, voices are growing for the night-time opening of the emergency unit at the Baritchino health centre, given the area's population density and its proximity to other communes.
They propose night shifts or mobile medical units, with coordination between health facilities to ensure fair access to care.
