Morocco Expands Health Cooperation with IAEA through New Practical Arrangement

The IAEA and Morocco's Mohammed VI Foundation of Health Sciences (FM6SS) have signed a Practical Arrangement in Vienna, strengthening their cooperation in cancer care, radiation medicine, medical training and research.

The agreement builds on an existing relationship and sets out a framework for expanded cooperation that could benefit Morocco and the wider African region.

The Mohammed VI Foundation for Sciences and Health (FM6SS) is a Moroccan non-profit public utility institution dedicated to healthcare development, medical education, and scientific research. Operating as an integrated health ecosystem, the Foundation manages a network of universities, healthcare facilities, and research centres across the country.

"This partnership with the IAEA aligns with our institutional mandate to expand medical education and research capabilities," said Professor Youns Bjijou, Deputy Director of the Mohammed VI Foundation for Science and Health. "By combining our clinical infrastructure with the support of technical expertise from IAEA, we aim to accelerate innovation and enhance the regional capacity in radiation medicine, particularly in low- and middle-income countries."
