The ceremony to receive this aid took place in the presence of the Zambian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Joseph Malanji, and several other personalities.

Sent on High Instructions from His Majesty King Mohammed VI, May God Assist Him, this aid to Zambia is part of an important Royal initiative that will benefit several African countries from all sub-regions of the continent.

The aid is intended to provide protective medical equipment to support brother African countries in their efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. It is composed of nearly 8 million face masks, 900,000 visors, 600,000 hygiene caps, 60,000 coats, 30,000 liters of hydroalcoholic gel, as well as 75,000 packs of chloroquine and 15,000 packs of Azithromycin.

This solidarity action is part of the implementation of the Initiative launched by His Majesty the King, May God Assist Him, on April 13, 2020, as a pragmatic and action-oriented approach, intended to the brotherly African countries, enabling the sharing of experiences and good practices and aiming to establish an operational framework in order to support their efforts in the various phases of the pandemic management.

All the protective products and equipment making up the medical aids sent to brotherly African countries are produced in Morocco by Moroccan companies and comply with the World Health Organization's standards.
