Frequent Absence of Radiology Doctor Exacerbates Patient Crisis at Taza Hospital

Taza Regional Hospital is witnessing increasing frustration among patients and visitors to the radiology department due to the repeated absence of the radiology doctor, which results in delays of diagnostic tests and postponement of medical diagnoses. This issue has worsened the suffering of many citizens, particularly those from rural and remote areas.

Local sources confirmed that the doctor’s absence has become nearly constant in recent days, without providing an alternative or offering explanations from the hospital management. As a result, patients are forced to wait for days or even weeks for their appointments, or they resort to the private sector, incurring additional financial burdens beyond their means.

Civil society and human rights organizations have raised concerns about the reasons behind this ongoing absence and have called on the regional delegation of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection to intervene urgently to ensure regular and continuous radiology services, while respecting citizens’ right to access healthcare in dignified conditions.

The radiology department is one of the most vital facilities in healthcare institutions, as it is heavily relied upon for diagnosing various diseases and making appropriate treatment decisions. Any disruption in its services negatively impacts the overall functioning of medical operations at the hospital.

As of the writing of this report, no official clarifications have been provided by the concerned authorities regarding the situation, further adding to the confusion and dissatisfaction among patients and their families.
