Casablanca: Art Proves a Powerful Ally in the Healing Journey of Cancer Patients
During a study day held in Casablanca under the theme « When Art Supports Body and Soul », mental and physical health professionals emphasized that art, while not a substitute for medical treatments, serves as a vital support in the healing process — especially for cancer patients.
Dr. Mariam Nassiri, hypnotherapy specialist and president of Dar Zahour, advocated for a holistic and humane approach to healthcare, where emotional expression and artistic engagement become central.
The event, organized in partnership with Mohammed VI University of Health Sciences, featured theater performances, therapeutic dance, Qi Gong, painting workshops, and testimonies from survivors — all reinforcing the role of art in enhancing psychological resilience and physical well-being.
