Five years after the launch of Morocco's major health system reform and the generalization of mandatory health insurance (AMO), the country finds itself at a critical juncture. The financial effort made by the state is unprecedented, and institutional reforms have been undertaken. However, challenges persist in ensuring equitable access to care for all citizens.

The reform aimed to extend health coverage to previously uninsured populations, but implementation has faced hurdles. While the number of beneficiaries has increased, gaps remain in the quality and availability of services, particularly in rural areas. The government has invested heavily in infrastructure and human resources, yet disparities in access continue to be a concern.

Experts note that while the legal framework for universal health coverage is now in place, the practical realization of the right to health requires sustained funding and better coordination between stakeholders. The coming years will be crucial in determining whether the reform achieves its goal of leaving no one behind.
