In its latest edition, the weekly Young Africa reports that the Moroccan health system is experiencing a real revolution led, in a bold manner, by King Mohammed VI.
The objective of this reform is to improve this system and make it likely to attract investments, reports Al Ahdath from Friday September 27.
This ambitious vision has placed Morocco among the leaders in health globally, continues the same source. This demonstrates its ability to adopt international health standards while meeting the requirements of its local specificities.
The French newspaper emphasizes that King Mohammed VI has established health as a fundamental pillar of the kingdom’s socioeconomic development. This orientation strengthens the kingdom’s capacity to improve the quality of life of its citizens.
This is how, continues the same source, that faced with the Covid-19 pandemic, the kingdom opted for an integrated and rapid strategy in order to confront this health crisis: “This strategy was distinguished by a free vaccination campaign which immunized all residents. Added to this are local production initiatives aimed at manufacturing essential medical equipment such as masks and respirators as well as the creation of a Special Fund for the management of the pandemic thanks to the mobilization of businesses and citizens.».
And the newspaper recalled that Morocco was not content to protect its population but that it sent medical aid to several African countries, thus strengthening its regional leadership in the field of health and international cooperation.
Still within the framework of the health strategy, Young Africa underlines that Morocco aims to achieve comprehensive medical coverage through the generalization of social protection launched by King Mohammed VI, relays Al Ahdath.
This program aims to expand health insurance coverage to all citizens, including the most vulnerable categories, specifying that 10.6 million people currently benefit from AMO-Tadamon with contributions covered by the State, concludes Young Africa.
