Health: "The Akdital Group has never received public investment support"

In a statement, the Akdital Group wishes to clarify the following: The Akdital Group has never benefited from public or governmental investment support, either directly or indirectly. As a publicly traded company on the Casablanca Stock Exchange, the Akdital Group is subject to financial transparency obligations set by the Moroccan Capital Market Authority (AMMC). Under this obligation, the Group's accounts, as well as its quarterly and annual financial reports, are publicly accessible on the websites of the AMMC, the Casablanca Stock Exchange, and the Akdital Group itself. All investments made by the Akdital Group are financed through self-funding, bank loans, and fundraising on the national stock market. Committed to its public service mission, the Akdital Group is proud to provide citizens with state-of-the-art healthcare facilities across all 12 regions of the Kingdom, including the southern provinces (Laâyoune, Dakhla, and Guelmim), as well as cities such as Errachidia, Essaouira, and Nador. The investments made by Akdital in these regions, along with the creation of over 200 jobs for young Moroccans per clinic—of which the majority are women—fully meet the criteria of the Investment Charter, thereby making the Group eligible for public investment support. However, Akdital reaffirms that it has never received such support. The Akdital Group supports the request made by the National Association of Private Clinics (ANCP) to the Minister of Health, aiming to publicly disclose the list of establishments that have received public investment support. The Akdital Group will continue to make every effort to support His Majesty the King's Vision, may God assist Him, for the reform of the healthcare sector.
