TASWEEK’s Marrakesh Healthcare City named ‘Best Private Medical Project in Morocco & Africa’ at Medical Expo 2015

Company’s third-generation infrastructure lauded for supporting Morocco’s medical tourism

 - TASWEEK Real Estate Development and Marketing, an adviser and solutions provider serving the property markets, received a trophy for ‘Best Private Medical Project in Morocco and Africa’ for its Marrakesh Healthcare City (MHC) development at the 2015 Medical Expo held recently at the Casablanca International Fairgrounds in Casablanca, Morocco. The firm was commended for the major role its third-general medical infrastructure plays in creating advanced ‘Healthcare Cities’ and improving the medical tourism in Morocco. Marrakesh Healthcare City is a mixed-use USD 60 million residential and healthcare complex representing one of the first mega healthcare investment initiatives in Morocco. It covers an area of around 21,000 sqm and is strategically located just a few minutes away from the national airport and the Central Business District of Marrakesh, Morocco’s third largest city. The city is expected to commence operations by the first half of 2015. Event organizer OFEC (Office des Foires et Expositions de Casablanca) extended an official invitation to TASWEEK CEO Masood Al Awar to personally receive the trophy and join the expo’s special ‘Africa Global Health’ forum. Al Awar discussed the economic and social impact of MHC and its future plans for expanding its healthcare portfolio during Medical Expo 2015, the largest medical equipment trade fair in Morocco. Al Awar said: “We thank the organizers of Medical Expo 2015 for recognizing our valuable contributions to Morocco’s healthcare landscape and for seeking our opinions and suggestions on how to develop genuine medical tourism for the benefit of the country and the entire African region. The health and well-being of citizens are crucial to the growth and progress of any nation and we at TASWEEK believe that the property sector should broaden its contributions further towards building advanced infrastructure to optimize medical services for the benefit of present and future generations.”
