Princess Lalla Oumkeltoum visits psychiatric hospital

Princess Lalla Oumkeltoum of Morocco visited the Kenitra psychiatric hospital.

The Princess visited the psychiatric hospital in her capacity as President of the Lalla Oumkeltoum Foundation for Mental Health to preside over the signing ceremony of a framework partnership agreement between the Lalla Oumkeltoum Foundation for Mental Health and the Ministry of Health and Social Protection.

The agreement will support the implementation of the Mental Health Plan 2030 and the strategic action plan of the Lalla Oumkeltoum Foundation for Mental Health.

The hospital has been newly established and has a capacity of 120 beds. It is specifically designed to improve access to mental healthcare across the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region. The new hospital is part of a broader national effort to improve healthcare services.

Princess Lalla Oumkeltoum toured the facilities of the new hospital, including outpatient consultations, geriatric day care, functional diagnostics, and addiction treatment.

Princess Lalla Oumkeltoum is the wife of Prince Moulay Rachid, and thus a sister-in-law of King Mohammed VI. She and Prince Moulay Rachid have two sons together. They are the third and fourth in the Moroccan line of succession behind their father, and cousin, Crown Prince Moulay Hassan.
