About 44 students from the National Institute of Posts and Telecommunications were taken to the emergency department of the Ibn Sina Hospital in Rabat (Souissi) on Sunday due to suspected food poisoning.
According to media sources, the students were taken to the hospital after suffering from severe stomach cramps.
According to the same source, 34 of them were immediately discharged from the hospital, while ten others were kept under observation. The students suspect that the cause of their suffering was caused by a dinner they ate on Saturday, which included chicken.
The incident prompted the intervention of officials at the National Institute of Post and Telecommunications, who visited Ibn Sina Hospital to check on the condition of the students and supervise their transportation after their recovery. An investigation has been opened into the case, pending the results of analyses to determine the causes of this incident, according to the same source.
