Morocco’s Mohammed VI Foundation of Health Sciences (FM6SS) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have signed a new Practical Arrangement aimed at expanding cooperation in cancer care, radiation medicine, medical training, and scientific research.

The agreement, signed in Vienna on June 24, strengthens an existing partnership between the two institutions and establishes a framework for broader collaboration that could benefit not only Morocco but also countries across Africa.

According to the IAEA, the arrangement combines the agency’s technical expertise in nuclear applications for health with FM6SS’s growing network of healthcare facilities, universities, and research centers.

“This partnership with the IAEA aligns with our institutional mandate to expand medical education and research capabilities,” said Professor Youns Bjijou, Deputy Director of the Mohammed VI Foundation of Health Sciences.
