Women's health has long faced significant challenges, particularly in detecting and treating conditions such as breast cancer at an early stage. Dr. Faouzi Habib, Founder of Clinique Tour Hassan in Morocco, was personally motivated to devote himself to improving women's health: "I lost my aunt because of cancer, and another. And then I decided to study oncology to defy the disease." Drawing on his personal experience, he dedicated himself to developing oncology care in Morocco, with a particular focus on women's health.
Early screening and diagnosis are frequently overlooked, often due to limited awareness and constraints on access to technology. Dr. Habib emphasizes: "Women come late, because they are often afraid. But 80% of breast cancers seen early, most of them heal. The benefit of early treatment, early diagnosis, is to preserve the organ."
Advanced MRI has become an essential tool in supporting women's health at Clinique Tour Hassan, particularly in improving early and accurate diagnosis. By introducing imaging systems from United Imaging, the clinic has strengthened diagnostic confidence and clinical decision-making in women's healthcare. As Dr. Habib notes, "Concerning the United MRI installed at the Clinic, it is a very efficient machine."
The advancement in image quality has further strengthened his practice in women's health by enabling clearer visualization and more reliable assessment. "The image is beautiful. We have a very beautiful image, good iconography, good resolution especially. Here, image quality is 5 out of 5. When we compare with other MRIs, it remains the best MRI currently. It is the best for early breast cancer diagnosis."
Notably, the MRI from United Imaging has significantly improved the efficiency of the clinic's daily practice, helping physicians work more smoothly and focus on clinical judgment. As Dr. Habib explains, "The doctor does not have many problems to diagnose. This is the most important."
The impact of these efforts is clear: over 30 years, Dr. Habib has treated more than 40,000 women, with 15,000 still alive today. Dr. Habib reflects, "The first woman that I treated for a breast, today, soon 32 years, she comes to see me. That is important." Looking forward, he envisions supporting healthcare development across Africa, enhancing patient follow-up, fostering health awareness, and building smart hospitals: "I think that United Imaging can make this happen: to allow to treat every human being, in a purely humanitarian spirit."
