Princess Lalla Asma Honors Children with Cochlear Implants
The article focused on Princess Lalla Asmae, President of the Lalla Asmae Foundation, visiting Moroccan and Panamanian children who have undergone cochlear implant surgeries at the National Center for Rehabilitation and Neuroscience in Rabat, as part of the "Nismaa" program. This initiative aims to enable individuals with hearing disabilities to access medical care and rehabilitation, offering free treatment to over 1,100 Moroccans and expanding the project to include Panama, which became the twenty-second country to join the program. The surgeries were conducted under the supervision of a Moroccan medical team led by Professor Abdel Aziz Raji, encompassing all stages of treatment from diagnostics to rehabilitation, with the goal of developing long-term auditory and linguistic skills. The program reflects Morocco's commitment to integrating people with hearing disabilities and highlights the importance of improving audiological services, especially in Africa, where 90% of those in need do not receive such care. The World Health Organization estimates that the return on investment in this field is $16 for every dollar spent.
