Moroccan Public Sector Doctors Plan Protest March Amid Healthcare Crisis

This march is a way to protest, not only against "the policy of deaf ears" of the Ministry of Public Health and the government in the face of their demands, but also against "the collapse of the public health sector in Morocco as well as the depression observed in the ranks of public doctors who are struggling to practice their profession in the deplorable conditions that health facilities in the Kingdom are experiencing", announces a statement from the office, according to Hespress.

Public sector doctors have decided to join the protest movement of medical students. "We defend and fight in a way for the same causes, namely a health sector worthy of the name where public doctors will have the necessary resources to fulfill their duty, quality training for future doctors, and the non-privatization of higher education," said a member of the doctors’ union.

It should be recalled that Moroccan students (medicine, dentistry and pharmacy) have been boycotting lectures and medical internships for three weeks, absolutely refusing the passage of the internship competition at the CHU by private medical students.
