The MEDEVAC Programme was active in Morocco from 2016 to 2020. Two surgical missions were carried out there with a focus on children with heart defects, during which a total of 23 child patients underwent surgeries. Furthermore, in the years 2016-2019, educational stays of healthcare professionals from Moroccan hospitals took place in the Czech Republic in three specialised medical fields.
