"The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) welcomed the medical aid, which the Kingdom of Morocco granted to 15 African countries, most of which are member states of the OIC, to assist in their efforts to stem the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic," OIC said in a press release.
The medical aid included some 8 million medical masks, 900,000 protective visors, 600,000 hygiene caps, 60,000 medical gowns, 30,000 liters of hydroalcoholic gel, 75,000 boxes of chloroquine and 15,000 boxes of Azithromycin.
This solidarity action is part of the implementation of the Initiative launched by HM King Mohammed VI on April 13, 2020, as a pragmatic and action-oriented approach, the source added.
