The nurses and health technicians have long been involved in protest movements angry at the worsening of professional accidents in the sector, the most recent one being the tragic death of Radwa Allou, who passed away in an ambulance rollover accident on the way to Agadir.
The protest escalation emerged through a national march in Rabat last Saturday to demand that the responsibilities be identified in the incident.
The protesters also decided to organize a march in front of the Ministry of Health towards the parliament, while continuing to carry red emblems while working, in order to ring the alarm about the reality of the nursing body in the Kingdom, which has become overshadowed by severe congestion.
Occupational accidents that have occurred on the roads of the Kingdom, during recent times, have raised many questions about the health transport situation, which prompted the movement of nurses to be surprised by the fact that the trained nurse, who has not been appointed for more than a year, has assumed the responsibility of accompanying a patient without supervision in a situation that did not qualify as emergency, according to the statement issued by the movement of nurses and health technicians in Morocco.
The movement also questioned the motives of using “an unqualified person to drive an ambulance towards a hospital 300 kilometres from Asa,” recording the worsening of professional accidents between deaths, injuries, permanent disabilities and judicial trials.
The movement also pointed out that these human tragedies are matched by lack of moral and material recognition by the Ministry of Health, as it denounced its denial and procrastination in responding to the demands of the sector, blaming the responsibility of health transport accidents to the government and the willful ministry over the sector, highlighting that this service defines a large legal void.
The movement also drew attention to the acute shortage in human resources and catastrophic equipment, as well as the absence of some important and necessary specialties at the level of regional hospitals, saying that this makes “poor health transport a patchwork solution that nurses and patients have to pay its consequences”.
