Marrakech Health Union Advocates for Transparency in Administrative Housing

The National Health Union, affiliated with the Democratic Confederation of Labor, has formally urged the regional health delegate in Marrakech to conduct a thorough and updated inventory of all administrative and functional housing associated with health institutions and services in the region. This request, outlined in an official correspondence dated October 1, 2026, emphasizes the necessity of clarifying the legal and administrative status of these residences while identifying the actual beneficiaries.

Within the letter, the union has expressed concerns regarding compliance with legal and regulatory provisions governing the allocation of functional housing. They have requested a review of the decisions regarding these allocations and their respective dates, alongside verification that the legal conditions for occupying these residences are still being met. The call for action stems from reports indicating potential abuses related to the use of functional housing, including allegations that certain officials may be benefiting from multiple administrative or functional residences, a situation that warrants an in-depth administrative investigation to validate these claims and enforce necessary legal consequences if required.

The regional office's appeal is grounded in Law No. 31.13 concerning the right to access information, as well as the Prime Minister's circulars No. 16/94 dated September 21, 1994, and No. 35/95 dated August 17, 1995, which pertain to the continued occupancy of administrative housing post-termination of employment. Additionally, the union referenced the applicable regulatory texts and allocation decisions relevant to the health sector.

In conclusion, the union has requested a written response detailing the results of the inventory and administrative investigation, as well as the measures that will be taken to address any potential discrepancies. This initiative brings the management of functional housing within the health sector of Marrakech back into public discourse, awaiting the regional delegation’s response to the demands stated in the correspondence and clarification of the legal status of the housing and its beneficiaries.
