Public sector doctors in Morocco have pushed back against what they describe as attempts to hold medical professionals responsible for the chronic dysfunction of the country’s health system, calling instead for a comprehensive national policy to end “patchwork solutions” and address the sector’s deep-rooted fragility.
In a statement released by the Independent Union of Public Sector Doctors, the group said it rejects “the narrative that those working under the harshest and poorest conditions are the cause of the crisis, when in fact they are its first victims.”
The union argued that Morocco’s health system “was built on weak foundations, lacking social objectives and constitutional equality,” noting that public doctors have long filled systemic gaps “without any real effort to value or strengthen the human resources” that sustain public health care.
The statement stressed the need for a “citizen-centered health system” that ensures equal access to services across the public and private sectors, and in which doctors can work “with dignity and in scientifically sound conditions.”
For meaningful reform, the union called for a sustainable public health financing model, starting with a review of medical tariffs to ensure parity between public and private sectors “
