Social Dedication

Since his pre-medical school and beside his commitment to studying medicine, Dr. Bakhach was very early involved in the protection and defense of Medical Students’ rights and the respect and compliance with the free practice of physicians.

He was actively involved in the strike of the French Medical Students in 1982 which lasted approximately the whole academic year and ended by the deflection of the concerned Ministries of Education and Health giving to the Medical Students what they were fighting for.
