Princess Lalla Amira hosts children with cochlear implants in Rabat

Princess Laila Asmaea, the head of the Laila Asmaea Foundation, visited young Moroccans and Bamanian children who benefitted from free cochlear implant procedures. This took place as part of the "Nisma'a" program, which aims to integrate people with disabilities and improve access to hearing services. The surgeries, conducted under the supervision of a team of eight Moroccan surgeons, included cochlear implantation and activation, followed by rehabilitation programs to enhance speech. Over 1,100 people in Morocco have benefited from these procedures, while Panama became the 22nd country to join the program. This is a successful Moroccan model that shares its expertise with sister nations, with a focus on improving hearing care in Africa, where only 10% of those in need currently receive these services. It is also noted that every dollar invested in this field generates $16 in economic benefits.
