[SIZE=7]U.S. Traveler Stunned By Moroccan Hospital Bill[/SIZE]
After backpacking around Morocco, a U.S. traveler was left stunned by a Moroccan hospital bill that he received on the last day. After spending an entire night in ER and receiving medication, the traveler’s bill came up to $31 USD. In the US the bill would NOT have been less that USD 3,100
Christian Grossi, 23, a travel blogger from the U.S., shared his account of his last day in Morocco. After experiencing extreme food poisoning, Grossi was in such a bad state that he had to go to the hospital.
Grossi details how after uploading his recent video about experiencing food poisoning in North Africa, he started to feel really dizzy. After deciding to head to a store close to his Airbnb, he ended up collapsing on the street.
Grossi then woke to 4 Moroccan men pouring water on him, speaking completely in Arabic except for the words ‘hospital’.

Considering the state he was in, Grossi allowed the men to admit him to a hospital. When he arrived, he was admitted to the ER immediately. He was hooked up to two machines, one for antibiotics and another for anti-nausea medication. Grossi details how he passed out again.
Education & Healthcare is FREE in Morroco in government institutions just like it was in Libya, foreigners may pay a small fee.
Healthcare is insanely expensive especially if you don’t have insurance. There are also mall like pharmacies that sell drugs and prescription like in a supermarket. One of them is called CVS
