Since 2004

Two Decades Caring for the Red City and Its Visitors

SAMU Marrakech is the region's trusted home medical service for travellers, expats and residents alike. Since 2004 we've delivered fast, professional, English-friendly care 24/7 — from médina riads to Palmeraie villas and the Atlas foothills.

Our Mission

To make quality medical care easy to reach for everyone in Marrakech — whether you've lived here for years or arrived yesterday. We believe no one should struggle to find help in an unfamiliar city, so we bring professional, compassionate care straight to your door, in a language you understand.

Our Core Values

Speed

Response in under 30 minutes across Marrakech, with a motorbike relay for the médina. When you're unwell far from home, every minute counts.

Safety

Strict protocols, certified equipment and verified professionals. Your safety comes first, whether you're a resident or a visitor.

Compassion

We understand how daunting it is to fall ill abroad. Every patient is treated with dignity, warmth and genuine care.

Excellence

Continuous training, regular evaluation and multilingual service. We hold ourselves to international standards on every visit.

Our Team

SAMU Marrakech employs over 150 qualified healthcare professionals, carefully selected and regularly trained. Many speak English alongside French and Arabic, and every team member passes a 5-point verification process before joining our staff.

  • State-certified nurses (IDE) with practice authorisation from the Ministry of Health
  • Partner physicians registered with the National Medical Council, many English-speaking
  • Certified ambulance personnel trained in emergency procedures and event standby
  • Accredited partner laboratory for home blood draws and testing
  • Trained caregivers experienced in supporting expat and recovering patients

40 Zones from the Palmeraie to the Atlas Foothills

From the tourist heart of Guéliz, Hivernage and the Médina to the Palmeraie villas and outlying areas like Tamansourt, Tahanaout and Ourika, our network of professionals covers the whole of Marrakech and its region. We position teams strategically — and use a motorbike relay in the old town — to keep response times short in every neighbourhood.
