How is it possible for a power cut to occur in an intensive care unit without there being an emergency system to ensure continuity of services? Who takes responsibility for this tragedy?
The Regional Director of the Ministry of Health in Rabat bears a large part of the responsibility for this incident, particularly because of the repeated scandals and dysfunctions in the health sector under her supervision.
This serious incident highlights management failure and gaps in prevention measures, reflecting a lack of effective control in public hospitals.

It is now imperative to hold those responsible for this tragedy to account, and the Ministry of Health must impose strict measures to prevent future incidents of this kind. An investigation must be carried out to clarify the circumstances of this incident and the Regional Director must be held accountable to public opinion in order to prevent such tragedies from happening again in the future.
Justice will only be served if all those responsible for this scandal are punished and concrete measures are taken to guarantee the safety of citizens in our hospitals.
