As the Kingdom of Morocco—particularly its northern region—prepares to host several major international events and gatherings, the experience of SAMU stands out as a living example of how European expertise in healthcare, nursing, and rapid emergency response is being transferred and adapted locally to protect lives.
SAMU Morocco was founded by Dr. Álvarez Leiva, the founder and CEO of the parent company in Spain, which has accumulated over forty years of humanitarian and field experience. This extensive background, which has contributed to tangible positive impacts within Spanish society, is now being brought to Moroccan soil, especially in the northern regions, as part of a strategic vision to strengthen emergency response systems and healthcare readiness.
Dr. Álvarez Leiva
“SAMU is not just an economic investment; it is above all a humanitarian mission, aimed at saving lives and ensuring the preparedness of medical and nursing teams in responding to urgent and critical situations—especially in the context of large-scale events that demand swift and well-coordinated action.”
This initiative comes at an opportune moment, as Morocco gets ready to welcome a number of global events, including sports championships, environmental conferences, and major cultural festivals. These developments underscore the urgent need to upgrade medical infrastructure and enhance rapid response capabilities.
SAMU Morocco aims to establish strategic partnerships with local institutions, support the training of young professionals, and provide high-quality equipment and medical technologies that meet international standards in emergency intervention.
On this occasion, Dr. Álvarez Leiva extends his warmest congratulations and sincerest expressions of loyalty and respect to His Majesty King Mohammed VI, on the occasion of the 26th anniversary of His accession to the throne, praying that God grants His Majesty continued health and well-being, and that Morocco achieves further prosperity and progress under His wise leadership.
The presence of SAMU in Morocco is more than just a sign of international cooperation—it is a clear message of confidence in Morocco’s capabilities to embrace global expertise and to build a more resilient, responsive, and human-centered healthcare model.
