The Moroccan Government Council, in its weekly meeting on Thursday, approved a new bill modifying the mandatory basic health insurance system, in a move aimed at unifying health insurance management bodies in the kingdom.
The government spokesman, Mustapha Baitas, revealed that Bill No. 54.23 comes as part of implementing the framework law on social protection, indicating that the new amendments aim to consolidate the management of mandatory health insurance services under a single entity.
The main points of the new bill include:
- Transferring the authority to manage public sector health insurance from the National Fund for Social Welfare Organizations (CNOPS) to the National Social Security Fund (CNSS)
- Eliminating the special student health insurance system, as students will be included as beneficiaries under their families’ coverage
Baitas explained that the decision to cancel the special student insurance system came after a study showed that most Moroccan students can benefit from health coverage through their families, making the special system unnecessary in light of the trend toward universal mandatory health coverage.
These reforms are part of the kingdom’s efforts to improve and unify the social protection system and simplify procedures for accessing mandatory health insurance services.
The new legislation reflects Morocco’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its social protection framework and streamlining healthcare access for its citizens through a more unified and efficient insurance management system.
