Morocco has ordered seven highly mobile field hospitals from German defence group Rheinmetall in a contract worth tens of millions of euros, the company said on Friday.
The agreement, signed in June, covers one hospital for Morocco’s defence ministry and six for the interior ministry, suggesting the systems will support both military medicine and civilian emergency response. Deliveries are scheduled between 2027 and 2028 through a Moroccan medical-equipment distributor.
The truck-mounted hospitals can be rapidly deployed and expanded with military tents. They include operating theatres, intensive-care and sterilisation units, as well as radiology, laboratory, pharmacy and CT-scanning facilities.
Specialised modules provide ophthalmology, dental and ear, nose and throat care. The systems can generate their own electricity and carry independent water and oxygen supplies, allowing them to function where permanent medical infrastructure is unavailable.
Rheinmetall said the design was developed with Morocco to meet the operational requirements of the Royal Armed Forces’ health service.
The technology is based on medical systems developed for and tested by Ukraine’s armed forces under demanding transport and battlefield conditions.
The order could also expand Morocco’s capacity to deploy medical services during earthquakes, severe weather and emergencies in remote areas, although Rheinmetall did not specify the missions for which the six interior ministry units would be used.
