Vital-signs monitoring in Camp El Ghoul, Marrakech

Camp El Ghoul occupies the eastern fringe of the new town, between Guéliz and the Jardin Majorelle, around avenue Allal El Fassi. It is a human-scale residential district of family apartment blocks, small villas, schools and local shops, where life is quiet yet only steps from the buzz of Guéliz. The population is made up mainly of settled families with children and of older people who appreciate the calm of the area.

The district benefits from the medical density of neighbouring Guéliz: clinics, specialist practices, medical laboratories, imaging centres and duty pharmacies are all within a few minutes. For the residents of Camp El Ghoul, this means that care begun at a clinic can easily continue at home, in comfort, with no break in care.

The situations we encounter most often here are the regular follow-up of older people and chronic illness: injections, infusions, blood tests, dressings, monitoring of diabetes and high blood pressure, and help managing medication. Families with children also call on us for one-off care — vaccinations, fever, a small wound — and for follow-up during recovery after an operation.
