Rabat Gastro | Dr Benjelloun Oumama

Dedicated to Digestive Wellness

The Centre de Gastroentérologie Hépatologie et de Proctologie Chirurgicale Hakam et Benjelloun was founded with a single mission: to raise the standard of specialised digestive care in Morocco. Nestled on the first floor of Immeuble ILHAM at the strategic intersection of Avenue Fal Ould Oumeir and Rue Azegza, the facility serves patients from Rabat, the wider region and international visitors looking for precise, compassionate treatment of gastrointestinal, hepatic and anorectal conditions.

Expert Leadership

The clinic is run by two eminent physicians whose complementary expertise ensures a 360-degree approach to digestive medicine:

• Dr. Zoubida Hakam – Diploma in Hepato-Gastroenterology (Faculty of Medicine of Rabat); Diploma in Ultrasound; former hospital practitioner at CHU Ibn Sina; specialist in medical and surgical proctology.
• Dr. Oumama Benjelloun – Dual diploma in Hepato-Gastroenterology (Faculties of Medicine of Rabat & Strasbourg); additional qualifications in chronic inflammatory bowel disease, viral hepatitis, digestive ultrasound and medical-surgical proctology; clinical training at CHU Ibn Sina and the Hospitals of Strasbourg.

Fluency in Arabic, French and English enables the team to communicate clearly with a diverse patient base, explaining diagnostic results and therapeutic plans in the language each patient feels most comfortable using.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Suite

From the moment a patient steps into the bright, comfortable waiting lounge, it is evident that the centre has invested heavily in cutting-edge technology. A dedicated ultrasound room allows rapid, non-invasive visualisation of abdominal organs, while the endoscopy suite is equipped for:

• Fibroscopy (gastroscopy) for upper digestive tract assessment
• Colonoscopy with high-definition imaging and polypectomy capability
• Rectoscopy and small-intestine video capsule studies for difficult-to-reach lesions
• Elastic band ligation of oesophageal varices and argon plasma coagulation for haemostatic therapy

All procedures are performed under strict hygiene protocols and, when needed, monitored sedation for maximum patient comfort.

Specialised Proctology & Minimally Invasive Surgery

Recognised across Morocco for its proctological expertise, the centre offers laser treatment of anal fissures and fistulas, haemorrhoid ligation, and other day-case interventions that significantly shorten recovery times compared with conventional surgery. A culture of continuous training keeps the surgeons abreast of the latest evidence-based techniques.

Patient-Centred Philosophy

Care begins long before a scope or scalpel is picked up. Each consultation includes a detailed review of medical history, dietary habits and lifestyle factors. Nutritional counselling, medication management and follow-up phone calls are standard practice, ensuring that therapeutic benefits extend well beyond the walls of the clinic.

Facilities & Accessibility

The premises are accessible by elevator, feature onsite parking and comply with modern safety standards. Free Wi-Fi, comfortable seating and discreet recovery areas contribute to a calming environment during what can often be an anxious time for patients.

Scheduling & Insurance

Appointments are available Monday through Friday from 09:00 to 17:00, with a shortened Saturday session from 09:00 to 12:00. While the centre currently operates on a fee-for-service basis, the administrative staff provide detailed invoices and guidance to facilitate reimbursement with the majority of Moroccan and international insurers.
