Healthcare Electives, Internships & Volunteering in Morocco

World Unite! arranges medical electives and healthcare internships at private hospitals in Tangier, Morocco. This is often even possible without knowledge of French. An English placement is possible at the private hospital Clinique Assalam, which has one of the highest standards in the city. It was founded in 2007 by six Moroccan doctors who had studied in Belgium and envisioned establishing a hospital of European standard in Tangier. The group is made up of two general surgeons, two traumatologists, one cardiologist, and one anesthetist. Other doctors working in the hospital specialize in neurosurgery, urology, ENT, pediatrics, gynecology, general medicine, and emergencies. Other specialists attend the clinic at certain hours weekly, offering orthopedics, nephrology and dialysis, and ophthalmology services. The hospital delivers around 400 infants annually, has three surgery theaters, and single or double rooms on three floors with 30 beds for inward patients. Interns and volunteers work under the supervision of one of the hospital’s doctors. The other three hospitals require French or Arabic language skills at a conversational level.
