Habiba, Morocco

Habiba Arim’s story highlights the urgent need for advocacy to ensure cancer patients receive uninterrupted care. After battling breast cancer for over a decade, she lost her RAMED medical aid and was denied treatment due to financial barriers. Despite seeking AMO and CNSS support, she could not afford an upfront payment, leaving her without essential medication. Her experience underscores the need for policies that protect vulnerable patients and ensure access to affordable healthcare. Habiba’s message is clear: no one should be denied treatment because they cannot pay, and patient advocacy is crucial in securing their right to care.
