According to Morocco’s official account, the inauguration accompanies the fifth phase of the Lalla Asmaa Foundation’s “Together, We Hear Each Other Better” programme. The Foundation equipped the centre for diagnosis, hearing aid and implant adjustment, and rehabilitation.

Kigali Today reports cooperation between Moroccan specialists and Rwandan teams. The official account also describes local staff training. The opening and treatment programme do not, by themselves, establish patients’ long-term hearing outcomes.
