Hammouni explained that the continuation of this situation strips the project of its social purpose and raises serious questions about the logic of scheduling inaugurations before ensuring the minimum conditions for operation. He stressed that the health center is supposed to serve tens of thousands of citizens, who still bear the burden of traveling to other provinces and cities for diagnosis, treatment, and medical follow-up.
