Minister of Health and Social Protection Amine Tahraoui held talks in Rabat on Monday with Regional Director of the World Health Organization (WHO) for the Middle East Hanane Hassan Balkhi, currently on a working visit to Morocco.
The meeting is part of the cooperative relations between Morocco and WHO, as a key player in the implementation of health programs and joint projects at local and regional level.
In a statement to the press, Tahraoui stated that Morocco, under the wise leadership of King Mohammed VI, is undergoing a profound and comprehensive reform of its healthcare system, through reinforcing social justice in terms of access to healthcare services, notably via the project to generalize medical coverage and the gradual broadening of the social protection base.
He then underlined Morocco’s firm commitment to support all regional and international initiatives aimed at promoting public health, achieving sustainable social development and promoting innovation in the service of the peoples of the region and the world.
In a similar statement, Balkhi echoed WHO’s support for health system reform in Morocco, hailing the enlightened Royal Vision to promote health and support health sovereignty on the African continent.
She stressed the importance of strengthening cooperation and partnership between the Kingdom and WHO in order to achieve common public health objectives and develop health systems in the region, in line with ambitions targeting health for all.
These talks reflect Morocco’s steadfast willingness to promoting public health and international cooperation, in line with the high and ambitious Royal Vision and effective strategies for achieving progress and prosperity in the health sector in Morocco and Africa.
