The Pasteur Institute of Morocco was created in 1919 in Casablanca by the Pasteur Institute of Paris to fight against infectious diseases in the region. Over the years, it has expanded to include research and teaching departments, analytical laboratories, and public health activities. In 1967, the Institute became a public institution under the name Center for Serums and Vaccines and diversified its activities to include research on neglected tropical diseases and chronic diseases.
