Morocco’s king undergoes successful surgery after shoulder fracture

RABAT (Reuters) – King Mohammed VI of Morocco had successful surgery on Sunday on his left shoulder after suffering a fall while working out, state media said.

He has been told to rest for 45 days to allow his shoulder to recover, state news agency MAP said, citing a statement by the king’s medical team.

The palace has issued statements about the king’s health in the past, including when he had heart surgery in 2018 and 2020, a lung infection in 2019 and COVID-19.
