About MAIR
The Moroccan-American Institute for neuroRehabilitation (MAIR), is an outpatient not-for-profit clinic specializing in neurorehabilitation services and related research. It is located in Marrakech city, Morocco (North Africa) and was founded by the American 501-C3 non-profit, The Zahra Charity (based in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States of America).
We are proud that all aspect of MAIR services are inspired by and focused on the American model of neurorehabilitation. So, we believe every neurological condition can be treated and/or improved, when given adequate and comprehensive neurorehabilitation approach. Most importantly, MAIR treatments and therapies are specifically designed to meet each patient’s condition and goals.
MAIR clinic is the only American-inspired neurorehabilitation facility in Morocco, North Africa. It has grown from a clinic treating 2-6 patients per day to a nationally-renowned neurorehabilitation institution treating 20-25 patients per day with a growing waiting list due to space limitations. Patients travel from all over Morocco, Southern Spain and France to Marrakech city seeking the proactive and comprehensive neurorehabilitation services at MAIR.
Indeed, patients at MAIR clinic receive more than just medical care: they are considered family from day one, so they get an experience that brings healing and hope. As an outpatient facility, MAIR also thrives by empowering patients and their family to do more at home, a necessary and important precondition for admission in the first place.
