Taourirt: parliamentary question seeks a plan for surgery and intensive care

MP Mohamed El Harr of the Haraki group seeks Health Ministry action and a timetable for surgical and intensive-care services in Taourirt province, according to a written question Al3omk said it held on 26 October 2026, also reported by I3lam TV on 29 October.

The question attributes closure of El Aioun Sidi Mellouk’s operating theatre to the lack of an anaesthetist and describes disrupted surgery and non-operational intensive care at Taourirt’s provincial hospital. These are the document’s descriptions; current conditions have not been verified on site.

Hibapress had reported an earlier union warning over missing specialities and suspended services. The reviewed articles document neither a ministerial response nor a reopening date.
