Qatar Charity (QC) has signed a framework co-operation agreement with Ibn Sina University Hospital Centre in Morocco to support life-saving treatment for children with congenital heart defects, expanding their access to specialised medical care that can improve their health and long-term quality of life.
The agreement reflects the QC’s strategic approach, implemented through its office in Morocco, to building effective institutional partnerships that create sustainable humanitarian impact beyond immediate assistance.
The organisation aims to develop co-operation models grounded in integration, knowledge exchange, and efficient resource use to better serve vulnerable communities.
As one of Morocco’s leading university healthcare institutions, Ibn Sina University Hospital Centre has specialised expertise and advanced capabilities in treating complex medical cases, making the partnership a crucial step in strengthening paediatric cardiac care services.
Under the agreement, support will focus on interventional cardiac catheterisation procedures for children with congenital heart defects, a highly specialised area of medicine.
This advanced technique can treat certain heart defects without open-heart surgery, reducing surgical risks, accelerating recovery, and improving children’s long-term quality of life.
These procedures require advanced equipment and specialised expertise, making them costly and often beyond the reach of low-income families.
The partnership therefore carries significant humanitarian value by helping ease this burden for families in need.
The agreement is expected to enable children from underprivileged families to receive high-quality cardiac catheterisation services, strengthen Ibn Sina University Hospital Centre’s capacity to manage complex cases, and provide a practical model of co-operation between healthcare institutions and humanitarian organisations.
Professor Raouf Mohsen, director of Ibn Sina University Hospital Centre, praised the initiative as valuable support for Morocco’s national healthcare system.
Eng. Mohammed Abu Halloub, director of Qatar Charity’s office in Morocco, said that the agreement reflects Qatar Charity’s commitment to supporting child health in Morocco and expanding co-operation with national healthcare institutions.
