Morocco has launched its winter health operation for the 2025 2026 season to provide medical care to residents in cold hit and hard to reach areas, the health ministry said.

The campaign runs from Nov. 15 to March 30 and covers 31 provinces across eight regions including Tangier Tetouan Al Hoceima, the Eastern region, Beni Mellal Khenifra, Draa Tafilalet, Fez Meknes, Souss Massa, Marrakesh Safi and Rabat Sale Kenitra.

The ministry said the plan focuses on strengthening primary care, preventive services and outreach through mobile clinics, with referrals to designated hospitals for urgent cases.

Authorities will mobilise 2,817 health workers and equip 523 health centers. The program includes 3,528 field visits by mobile units and 183 specialist medical missions.

An exceptional budget of 11.32 million dirhams has been allocated for medicines and supplies, alongside 2.58 million dirhams for transport fuel and maintenance.

Local authorities elected bodies the private sector and civil society groups will take part in implementation, the ministry said.
