Morocco Ministry of Health to recruit 6,000 nurses and health technicians

The Moroccan Ministry of Health and Social Protection has announced a plan to recruit 6,000 nurses and health technicians between November 2026 and February 2027. The initiative aims to integrate graduates from the Higher Institutes of Nursing Professions and Health Techniques into the workforce.

The recruitment process will occur in three stages: a competition for 2,094 positions on November 22, 2026, followed by 906 positions through territorial health groups in December, and an additional 3,000 positions in February 2027.

Regional distribution for the first phase includes 594 positions in the Oriental region, 550 in Beni Mellal Khénifra, 500 in Marrakech Assafi, 300 in Guelmim Oued Noun, 100 in Drâa-Tafilalet, and 50 in Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab. Territorial health groups will also allocate positions to Rabat-Salé-Kénitra (450), Fès-Meknès (250), and Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima (206).

This plan seeks to address the unemployment of approximately 5,933 graduates awaiting integration as of October 2026. To manage future influxes, the Ministry plans to form joint committees starting in April 2027 to coordinate the integration of the roughly 8,000 new graduates expected in 2027.
