Dalal, who has already undergone several chemotherapy sessions, said that even though “people may have learnt about cancer on TV, at school, or read about it on the internet,” they never took the time to know more about the details of the disease, “because people think they are too young to get it,” she said.
Because of blood shortage in Moroccan hospitals, she called on people to donate blood to save the lives of patients. “I am afraid to lose my life because of the shortage of blood that our country faces,” she said.
The story of Dalal, which went viral on social media, made a positive impact on internet users.
Many Facebook users commend her courage after she shared her own story and unveiled the problems that patients face in hospitals, chief of which is the shortage of blood.
