The Euromed University of Fez has embarked on a groundbreaking initiative to construct its future University Hospital Center (CHU), which is set to become Morocco's first "smart hospital." This innovative facility aims to combine clinical excellence, advanced research, and high-level medical training.

The architectural design has been entrusted to the consortium "Atelier d’architecture El Ouali et Hajji et associés," renowned for their contributions to major healthcare institutions, including the Mohammed VI University Hospital in Tangier and the Regional Hospital Center in Kenitra.

Spanning a 30-hectare site, the CHU Euromed will be built from the ground up, integrating state-of-the-art medical technologies at its core. The hospital will utilize artificial intelligence, connected medical devices, big data analytics, real-time monitoring, and robotics, ensuring both clinical and administrative processes are streamlined through human-machine collaboration.

In its initial phase, the hospital will feature 350 beds, significantly enhancing healthcare services within the region and introducing medical specialties currently absent locally and nationally. The CHU will collaborate closely with the existing CHU Hassan II of Fez.

The CHU will fulfill three strategic missions: providing top-tier training in health disciplines, enhancing tertiary care services, and advancing medical research and innovation.

The hospital will accommodate students from diverse fields, including medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, and biomedical engineering. Digital platforms will support training, simulation, and international scientific collaboration.

Several centers of excellence are planned to tackle national and regional health priorities. These include personalized and precision medicine, treatment for emerging diseases, reconstructive surgery, oncohematology, sports medicine, forensic medicine, trauma treatment via a dedicated trauma center, specialized burn units, and advanced practices such as cardiac surgery, interventional cardiology, robotic and minimally invasive surgery, and interventional radiology and endoscopy.

A key differentiator for the hospital will be the integration of artificial intelligence in diagnostics and treatment, positioning it as a leader in medical innovation.

More than merely a hospital, the CHU Euromed de Fès represents a strategic project at the intersection of healthcare, higher education, scientific research, and technological advancement—fully aligned with Morocco's long-term national aspirations. Developed in collaboration with Morocco's Ministry of Health, the project adheres to international standards of medical technology and environmental sustainability, heralding a new era of healthcare and education in Morocco.
