Morocco healthcare system reform initiatives

Overview

Morocco is undergoing significant healthcare system reforms through national initiatives and international partnerships.

The government has launched the ‘Plan Santé Mentale 2030’, a 4-billion-dirham strategy designed to transform mental health care. This plan aims to move away from centralized hospitalization toward community-based care, prevention, and social reintegration. Key targets include doubling mental health bed capacity and significantly increasing the number of public sector psychologists to address the fact that an estimated 85% of affected Moroccans currently lack access to care.

In parallel, Morocco and the European Union have concluded the third phase of the Health Sector Support Programme (PASS III). This initiative, which began in 2020, supported reforms in primary healthcare, territorial governance, and hospital accreditation. The program also focused on strengthening the country’s ability to respond to sanitary crises and improving technical capabilities at facilities such as the Ibn Sina University Hospital Center in Rabat.
