Speaking as part of the monthly session of oral questions addressed to the head of government in the House of Representatives, on the “Strategic orientations of the health system”, Mr. Akhannouch indicated that this proactive policy comes in anticipation of the pressure on the health system, following the generalization of compulsory health insurance.
He noted, in this regard, that the government measures taken in this regard have made it possible to develop and implement the integrated hospital IT system at the level of public hospitals in all regions of the Kingdom, in addition to continuing the development of the platform project linking IT systems and hospitals under the Department of Health with a national database.
In this sense, Mr. Akhannouch stressed that the government will continue in 2024 the implementation of the components of this project through the generalization of the integrated hospital IT system at the level of all regions and the IT program relating to primary health care establishments in all regions, in addition to the entry into force of the shared medical record.
This is a new integrated vision for upgrading the health system, in fulfillment of the High Royal Guidelines, while respecting the commitments of the 2021-2026 government program, continued Mr. Akhannouch, noting that the government’s objective is to reduce the cost of health care.
In this regard, he noted that these benefits are intended mainly for people suffering from chronic illnesses, vulnerable categories and the elderly.
Mr. Akhannouch also noted that in accordance with the agenda set by HM the King, the government has succeeded in generalizing social coverage to all Moroccans, despite a difficult national and international situation.
The government has worked to establish a health care model worthy of Moroccans, thanks to a social revolution based on solidarity and cohesion, noted the Head of Government, ensuring that the Executive will mobilize all the necessary financial resources to equip itself with an efficient national health system.
The overall budget allocated to the health and social protection sector for 2024 is around 30.949 billion dirhams, an increase of 55% compared to 2021, he recalled, specifying that the government will continue in 2024 the implementation of structuring projects with the required effectiveness and efficiency, capable of guaranteeing the national sovereignty and strategic security of the Kingdom in priority areas, and at their head health sovereignty.
