AMAL (Association des Malades Atteints de Leucémies)

AMAL, based in Marrakesh, is the first patient group in Morocco and North Africa aiming to support patients with leukemia and other blood cancers. Our mission is to provide support to patients and families; to improve access to proper treatment and correct monitoring to all patients; to raise awareness and fight cancer stigma; to educate patients and parents by organising patient meetings, producing educational materials and so on; to advocate to improve policies and decisions in favour of cancer patients; to build a patient home for patients and parents living far from hospitals to allow them to be treated with dignity; and to collaborate with physicians and medical authorities in order to improve communication and care conditions in Morocco.
