Hospitals in Marrakech

For serious, potentially life-threatening issues that require immediate, specialized treatment, like breathing difficulties, severe bleeding, or head injuries. Non-urgent visits use up resources needed for emergency patients. ERs are for serious, life-threatening issues. Going there for something like flu symptoms adds to doctors’ workload and may take time away from those in critical need.

We recommend verifying current details, such as contact information, services, and hours of operation, before visiting.

Pharmacies in Marrakech, Morocco

In Marrakech, pharmacies are called pharmacie in French or صيدلية (saydaliya) in Arabic. They are usually marked with a green cross, often illuminated at night, and display the word “pharmacie” on their signs. Many are located near markets, main streets, and medical clinics, with some offering basic English communication.

Antibiotic Policy in Marrakech

In Marrakech, antibiotics officially require a prescription from a licensed doctor, but in practice, some pharmacists may sell certain antibiotics over the counter without one.

Emergency Number in Marrakech, Morocco

In Marrakech, you can reach emergency services by dialing 19 for police (or 112 from mobile phones), 15 for the fire brigade/civil protection, and 150 for ambulance and medical emergencies. These lines are toll-free and operate 24/7 from any phone.

Operators primarily speak Arabic and French; in tourist areas, limited English support may be available. When calling, stay calm, state your exact location, and describe the emergency clearly.

Please remember: Emergency numbers are for life-threatening situations. For urgent but non-life-threatening issues, telehealth services like Doctorsa are better suited and can connect you with a licensed English-speaking doctor quickly and affordably.
