King Mohammed VI has ordered comprehensive medical care for a young Moroccan woman in need of a complex lung transplant after her appeal circulated widely on social media, according to Hespress AR sources familiar with the matter.

The woman has been transferred to the military hospital in Rabat under royal instructions, where she is currently receiving treatment, medical supervision and diagnostic evaluations in preparation for undergoing specialized surgery abroad.

Sources said the monarch directed authorities to ensure she receives all necessary medical assistance and treatment, including coverage of expenses related to the planned operation outside Morocco.

The same sources denied recent rumors circulating online claiming that the young woman had died, stressing that she remains hospitalized in Rabat and is responding to treatment.

Medical teams are continuing to monitor her condition closely ahead of a potential transfer to an international medical facility capable of performing the delicate lung procedure.

The case drew widespread attention after the young woman publicly appealed for help, prompting significant engagement on social media platforms.
