the company in the North African nation after the
successful 160-bed private hospital project, as part of
the Marrakesh Healthcare City (MHC) development
in the country’s third largest city.
The move to consider another development in

the bilateral business and partnership ventures to
further enhance economic co-operation between the
two countries.
