The public and private sectors constitute an indivisible entity working together to win the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic, Minister of Health Khalid Ait Taleb said on Wednesday in Rabat.
During a meeting held with representatives of the National Association of Private Clinics (ANCP) and the National Health Insurance Agency (ANAM), Ait Taleb underlined, regarding the public and private sectors, that today “we are a single unit, an indivisible entity which works together in order to fight this global pandemic and to win this battle for the interest of the Moroccan citizen”.
He said that this meeting was an opportunity to discuss and debate a series of questions that have created controversy in the media in recent days, in particular the overbilling of medical care for certain patients with Covid-19 in the private sector.
The Minister highlighted the commitment of the ANCP to condemn all deviations and abuses that undermine the efforts made in this sector, noting that “of course, there is work to be done by the ANAM to try to analyze the cost of the medical care for patients affected by the Coronavirus, especially those in intensive care, because this particular health care is different from ordinary intensive care and requires much more time.
This meeting was the occasion, according to Ait Taleb, to testify to the unconditional support of the ANAM and the ANCP for the anti-covid-19 vaccination campaign which will be launched in the coming days, upon the high instructions of HM King Mohammed VI and which will be a large-scale campaign. “This is the first time that we are going to carry out a vaccination campaign of this kind. This is a huge event which will affect practically the entire population,” he added.
