According to a 2024 report by the High Commission for Planning (HCP), approximately 31% of Morocco's population does not have any form of medical coverage. This figure highlights persistent gaps in the country's healthcare system, despite ongoing reforms.
The Moroccan government has been implementing a major health insurance reform, aiming to generalize mandatory health insurance (AMO) to all citizens. However, the HCP report indicates that a significant portion of the population, particularly in rural areas and among informal workers, remains uncovered.
In 2023, Morocco launched the "AMO Tadamon" program to provide free health insurance to the poorest households. While this initiative has enrolled millions, challenges remain in registration and access to services. The HCP data suggests that more efforts are needed to achieve universal health coverage.
The lack of coverage has direct consequences on access to care, with many Moroccans delaying or forgoing medical treatment due to costs. The government has pledged to accelerate the reform, but the latest statistics show that a large segment of society is still left behind.
