Dr. Alal Al-Amrawi, head of the Istiqlal Unity and Justice parliamentary group, delivered a comprehensive and insightful speech before the government and parliament, emphasizing the fundamental constitutional right to health in Morocco and its central role in building the envisioned social state.
Al-Amrawi began by highlighting the royal will that has made the right to health a key pillar, reflecting an unprecedented ambition in the Arab and African regions. He noted that Morocco is currently undergoing an accelerated phase of building an integrated and comprehensive health system based on improving healthcare provision, strengthening medical training, ensuring equitable distribution of services, reducing regional disparities, and enhancing national sovereignty in biotechnological industries and pharmaceutical security.
He acknowledged that previous reforms were insufficient and stressed the need for a continuous, integrated effort. He cited concrete achievements such as the coverage of over 11 million citizens under the “RAMED” system, which now provides comprehensive health coverage—a significant transformation from its initial limited assistance role.
Al-Amrawi emphasized the importance of expanding health insurance enrollment, especially among self-employed professionals, underscoring that health security is only guaranteed through coverage and that encouraging enrollment is a collective responsibility. He also noted the substantial state investment in covering subscriptions and health services, reflecting the sector’s critical importance.
He further underscored the need to enhance health governance and performance efficiency, highlighting the establishment of the High Health Authority and Regional Health Groups, which will play a pivotal role in implementing health policies at the regional level with true decentralization and regionalization.
Addressing human resources challenges, particularly in remote areas, he called for performance-based incentive systems to attract and retain specialized personnel. He also advocated revisiting the private sector’s role and its obligations towards the health system, stressing the need for a strong regulatory body to uphold medical and ethical standards.
Al-Amrawi pointed out that the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the public health sector’s capacity to manage crises effectively, contrasting with the decline of some health systems that had reduced their public sector role.
In conclusion, he described Morocco as entering a historic phase to build a strong and sustainable health system, where the public sector remains the main guarantor, complemented by effective cooperation with the private and third sectors, making health an integral part of the kingdom’s national security.
This intervention reflects a comprehensive and ambitious vision for Morocco’s health policies, emphasizing social justice, service quality improvement, and national sovereignty, requiring the concerted efforts of all political, institutional, and societal actors.
