Rabat- Head of Government Abdelilah Benkirane has announced that reforming the medical coverage system has become a priority for the government.
As co-chair of the intergovernmental committee in charge of reforming health coverage system, Abdelilah Benkirane revealed that the government is reconsidering generalizing the medical coverage to include all Moroccans.
The Head of Government described this initiative as “righting a wrong”. He said that it aims at putting an end to the injustice of certain classes within Moroccan society that are not included in the medical coverage, such as farmers, self-employed, as well as students.
This announcement comes several days after media reports revealed that Benkirane is expected to sign a decision on Monday that will allow more than 200,000 university students to benefit from medical coverage. Although reports indicate that the decision was made some time ago, the financial aspects have been the subject of deep discussion that has led to the establishment of technical committees whose goal it is to reach an adequate formula for the implementation of the new measure dubbed ‘historic”.
