Marrakech-Safi Health Union Voices Concerns Over Delayed Nursing Recruitment
The regional office of the National Health Federation for the Marrakech-Safi region, affiliated with the General Union of Moroccan Workers (UGTM), has raised serious concerns regarding the ongoing delays and lack of announcement regarding the nursing and health technician recruitment exam for currently available budgeted positions. This situation has been described by the union as an unjustified freeze in recruitment, particularly alarming given that other regions in Morocco have successfully conducted these exams.
In a recent statement, the regional office emphasized that this delay severely undermines the reform efforts aimed at improving the regional healthcare system. The union highlighted the context of an acute and alarming shortage of nursing and technical personnel across various hospitals and health centers in the region's provinces. This shortage has resulted in excessive workloads for the existing healthcare staff, who are compelled to work beyond their capacity to ensure the continuity of public services.
The union has condemned the perceived opaque administrative management by the Regional Health and Social Protection Directorate, labeling it as a systematic procrastination policy. They have expressed concern over the rising tension among unemployed young graduates, which they attribute to a denial of their constitutional right to access public service within a reasonable timeframe.
In conclusion, the regional office has called upon the Regional Health Directorate and the overseeing ministry to engage in serious dialogue and to promptly announce the date for the recruitment exam without further conditions. They have also urged for a fair distribution of budgeted positions based on the actual needs of various provinces, particularly considering rural and remote areas. Additionally, they have encouraged all members and graduates in the region to remain vigilant, unite around their union organization, and prepare for all forms of advocacy and militant escalation.
