Moroccan Head of Government Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri presented her roadmap for the health sector to both houses of Parliament on Monday 19 October, according to TelQuel. The programme aims to move from health coverage to effective access to care, but sets no figures or deadlines for the announced measures. Youns Bjijou will be responsible for implementing the roadmap.

The system is to rely on institutions that the programme does not name. The presentation took place in accordance with Article 88 of the Moroccan Constitution, according to TelQuel.

The presentation follows the publication of the Moroccan 2026-2031 programme, announced on 19 October. It comes after the appointment, on 16 October, of El Mansouri’s government, in which 13 of 31 ministers were reappointed.
