Part of Ibn Zohr University, the faculty concluded the agreements alongside the second Moroccan-American Medical Days, scheduled through 30 October. The partners were represented by Susan Nassab and Boris Petrikovsky.

The announced cooperation covers training for doctors, students and residents, sharing protocols and joint research. Fertility preservation for cancer patients and fetal and neonatal health are among the areas discussed. These commitments do not yet constitute a record of delivered care or completed research; the sources consulted establish no clinical outcomes.
