Morocco’s King Mohammed VI underwent successful surgery Sunday after fracturing his left shoulder during a workout session, state news agency MAP reported.
The monarch’s medical team has prescribed a 45-day rest period to allow for proper recovery, according to an official palace statement. The surgery marks the latest in a series of medical procedures for the king, who previously underwent heart surgeries in 2018 and 2020.
The palace has maintained transparency about the king’s health conditions, previously announcing his treatment for a lung infection in 2019 and COVID-19. The 60-year-old monarch has ruled Morocco since ascending to the throne in 1999.
