The results of the work carried out by the Special Development Model Committee (CSMD) demonstrated the expectations and aspirations of Moroccans, during the listening sessions and field visits, where the majority of citizens expressed their expectations regarding the quality of public services, access to economic opportunities and employment, and the consolidation of the principles of good governance.

With regard to education, emphasis is placed on rehabilitating public schools, through a fundamental improvement in the quality of education and its adaptation to the needs of the labor market, by raising the pedagogical competence of teachers, encouraging openness to foreign languages ​​and establishing an effective guidance system to increase the chances of academic success.

As for health, Moroccans demand the provision of quality treatments that are affordable for all. Expectations in this area focus mainly on the noticeable increase in the number of health professionals and the equitable distribution of health infrastructure throughout the national territory to reduce the stark disparities in this field.

Concerning health coverage, its universalization is widely unanimous; as it is seen as a fundamental right, and everyone insists on improving the services that this coverage must provide.

Scientists and researchers are looking forward to finding out new secrets about the emerging Corona virus. Recently, a group of German researchers has discovered some pieces of information about the way the virus attacks the cell, and how it succeeds in building a “virus factory” inside the body in a way that may lead to death.

According to the latest research conducted by a research team from the German University of Heidelberg and reported by the German “Future Zone” website, the emerging corona virus attacks a group of organs inside the human body, including the lungs, heart, and brain, and it can also attack the testicles for males, but the way of attack differs inside the cell.
The researchers have discovered that when the corona virus infiltrates the cell, it reshapes it by creating cloned vessels for further spread inside the human body and leaving “virus factories” inside it, but in order to reach this stage, the virus hijacks a type of cell membrane in order to produce enveloped bubbles that keep growing. This was found to be responsible for the spread of the virus.

The study, which used a three-dimensional technology, has revealed that the virus uses these changes inside the cell to succeed in killing it, and the most dangerous cells that can be infected are brain cells, so even after the recovery from the virus. Scientists are worried that the health repercussions will carry on for a longer period, especially if cells of very sensitive areas are attacked.

Among the dangers of the Corona virus is that it may lead to death if the immune system’s reaction is exaggerated, according to what was confirmed by a German study, and in this case, the immune system contributes, even indirectly, in making the virus to spread more.

Earlier, virologist Matthew Freeman told the German website “gesundheitheute” that when the immune reaction is excessive, the tissues may get damaged, which makes the immune response out of control.

Naoual Oukkache, who is the head of the Venoms and Toxins laboratory at the Institut Pasteur of Morocco, is currently developing a new type of antivenom against the molecules responsible for mortality, said ISBAD proponents in a release.

Oukkache’s research is aimed at improving current treatments of snakebites and scorpion stings in order to reduce the lethality and the number of disfigurements that happen every year, according to the same source.

While COVID-19 is dominating the news, other diseases, such as snakebite envenoming, drop off the global radar, the source said, noting that hundreds of thousands of people are still dying, are disabled or suffer from other long-term effects resulting from a bite.

“Therefore, International Snakebite Awareness Day (ISBAD), marked on 19 September, has never been more important than this year.”

The proponents of this action, including Lillian Lincoln Foundation (LLF), Health Action International (HAI) and the Global Snakebite Initiative (GSI), have decided this year.

The proponents of this action, including Lillian Lincoln Foundation (LLF), Health Action International (HAI) and the Global Snakebite Initiative (GSI), have decided this year to shed light on women’s action in this field.

“For this reason, we chose this year’s ISBAD to launch our campaign WOMEN CHAMPIONS OF SNAKEBITE. Through this campaign we are shedding a light on all the women working tirelessly each and every day to mitigate snakebite suffering,” the source pointed out.
