On May 5, 2026, the Moroccan Ministry of Health and Social Protection announced a strengthened partnership with international and local stakeholders to accelerate the digital transformation of the country's health system. The initiative, dubbed 'Digital Health Morocco 2030,' aims to integrate electronic health records, telemedicine, and data analytics across public hospitals and clinics.
According to a press release from the ministry, the partnership includes the World Health Organization (WHO), the African Development Bank, and several Moroccan tech firms. The project is backed by a $150 million investment over five years, with a focus on rural areas where access to healthcare is limited.
Minister of Health Khalid Ait Taleb stated, 'This partnership marks a crucial step toward a more resilient and patient-centered health system. Digital tools will reduce wait times and improve diagnosis accuracy.' The first phase, set to launch in September 2026, will pilot electronic medical records in 20 hospitals across five regions.
Critics have raised concerns about data privacy and the digital divide, but the ministry assures that cybersecurity measures and training programs for healthcare workers are included in the plan. The initiative is part of Morocco's broader 'Digital Morocco 2030' strategy, which aims to digitize public services.
