France Grants Citizenship to 29 Moroccan Doctors for COVID-19 Service
29 Moroccan doctors have obtained French nationality for having contributed to the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. In total, 700 doctors have been naturalized French out of 2,890 applications.
In addition to the 29 doctors, other doctors and research specialists will soon be naturalized French after review of their file, reports Al Ahdhat Al Maghribia. According to the French Ministry of the Interior, a simplification of the naturalization procedure for health professionals, doctors, healthcare workers and laboratory technicians has been applied.
For the French media, the government, in recognizing the role played by the profession in the fight against Covid-19, could encourage it to grant foreign professionals their full rights, the same source specifies.
Pending the rather constraining comparability certificate, foreign doctors work for lower salaries than their French colleagues. According to figures from the Order of Physicians, 3,600 Moroccan doctors work in France.
