Abstract

In the midst of a pandemic, Morocco is generalizing its social protection by 2025 and above all its health coverage by the end of this year, by enrolling 22 million beneficiaries in health insurance. How will a health system, already marked by numerous failures, be able to absorb 22 million new beneficiaries in order to reach 100% medical coverage of the Moroccan population by the end of this year? This is a commendable project, but it risks being a missed opportunity if we do not change the paradigm, governance, and organization of the Moroccan health system upstream in order to make it more efficient and more equitable. What are the obstacles and difficulties encountered by the health system, and what are the accompanying measures undertaken to accompany the overhaul of the Moroccan health system?
