A therapeutic education centre for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes was inaugurated on November 12, 2026 in Marrakech, as part of the Changing Diabetes in Children programme. The Rabat centre, opened in December 2024, has already welcomed 3,737 beneficiaries, according to Infomediaire.

The opening of the therapeutic education centre in Marrakech fulfils an agreement signed on October 17, 2023 between the Moroccan Society of Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology (SMEDIAP), the Moroccan Ministry of Health and Social Protection, Mohammed VI University Hospital in Marrakech and the Danish company Novo, Infomediaire reports.

The facility is intended to help children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes and their families better manage the disease and strengthen their autonomy. SMEDIAP president Pr Farida Jennane stressed the importance of education and family support in care, while Mohammed VI University Hospital in Marrakech director Pr Karima Fouraiji highlighted more comprehensive and coordinated follow-up in the region.

The Marrakech centre builds on the experience launched in Rabat on December 10, 2024. This first centre has already welcomed 3,737 children and their family members for therapeutic education services and has helped strengthen the skills of healthcare professionals.
