Rabat: The Independent Union of Administrative and Technical Staff in Health has expressed its “strong astonishment” at what it described as the “continued systematic exclusion” of administrative and technical staff across various categories within the healthcare system.
In a statement issued by its national office on April 7, 2025, the union denounced what it considered “unjust and incomprehensible exclusionary steps” taken by the Ministry of Health against categories that constitute the “second largest human bloc within the healthcare system and make sacrifices and pivotal roles that cannot be denied.”
The statement pointed out that this “illogical reality” reflects a “condescending view” of these categories, considering them “third-class employees,” and outlined manifestations of this exclusion, starting with “depriving these groups of equality in compensation for professional risks” and culminating in “denying them representation within the administrative councils of territorial health groups,” in contrast to their representation in the administrative councils of university hospital centers.
The union considered this contradiction to “demonstrate the confusion in the implementation of the healthcare system reform” and a “direct and inevitable consequence of the absence of the Independent Union, the primary defender of these categories.” It also expressed its fear of a professional future “open to the unknown” for these groups in light of what it described as a “motivating health function that was and still is the hope of these groups to move beyond common frameworks and consolidate the specificity of the sector.”
Consequently, the union’s national office announced a series of demands and decisions, most notably:
- Strong condemnation of the systematic discrimination in compensation for professional risks, demanding the unification of compensation with the unification of risk.
- Strong condemnation of depriving administrative and technical staff of their right to fair representation within the healthcare system.
- Absolute rejection of Decree No. 2.23.1054 concerning the implementation of certain provisions of the law establishing health groups and demanding its withdrawal for consultation within the framework of social dialogue.
- Demanding the Ministry to redress the injustice and restore the dignity of these categories, providing them with fair material and moral compensation.
- Affirming that any genuine reform of the healthcare system must be based on fairness, equality, and motivation, not at the expense of the rights and gains of human resources.
- Calling on administrative and technical staff across all categories to unite and rally around their independent union to confront all exclusionary practices and defend their rights and gains through protest steps that are currently being studied and will be announced later.
The statement concluded with “On behalf of the National Office.”
