Four medical unions are calling on private practitioners not to join the National Social Security Fund (CNSS).
The unions are seeking to gather support around the boycott of the public social security system, denouncing the high indexing rates imposed by the CNSS.
These contributions are based on a fixed income equating to quadruple the national minimum wage for general practitioners, and 5.5 times the minimum wage for specialists.
The Moroccan government adopted the decree on private doctors’ contributions this past week, prompting the four unions to protest the tariffs.
The National Association of Private Clinics of Morocco (ANCP), the National Union of General Medicine and the National Trade Union College of Private Specialists (CSNMSP), the National Union of General Medicine (SNMG), and the National Union of Physicians of the liberal sector (SNML) addressed a letter to the head of government, expressing both their surprise at the rates while highlighting the damage such decisions will have on the profession.
According to the unions, the contribution system “fails to take the principle of equity into account, as stipulated in Law 15-98, relating to the regime of basic compulsory health insurance for the categories of professionals, independent workers and non-salaried persons exercising a liberal activity.”
In their joint statement, the unions were shocked upon realizing they “are indexed at the highest rate among all liberal professions,” inviting all members of the private medical field not to fill out the required form or finalize their membership.
