PAM Acknowledges Slow Progress of Health Reform
During a significant meeting hosted by the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) focused on the reform of Morocco's health system, party leaders conceded that many citizens have yet to experience the tangible benefits of these reforms. This candid acknowledgment came during a comprehensive debate held on March 14, 2026, at a luxury venue in Rabat, which saw the participation of the party's collegiate leadership and numerous stakeholders from the health sector, including academics, doctors, and pharmacists.
Among the prominent figures present were Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri, the party's coordinator, as well as Mehdi Bensaid and Fatima Saadi. El Mansouri emphasized that over 300 participants from all 12 regions of the country engaged in discussions about the health reform initiative, which was launched by King Mohammed VI and is being implemented by the government. Despite this significant gathering, she acknowledged that the results remain partial and that many citizens have not yet felt the impact of these reforms in their daily lives.
El Mansouri articulated the meeting’s goal, which was to pinpoint challenges and propose actionable solutions to enhance the reform's implementation. She stated, "Politics is about serving the citizens" and mentioned that the party is currently preparing its electoral program. Echoing her sentiments, Mehdi Bensaid highlighted ongoing issues within the health sector, suggesting that such meetings are essential for identifying barriers and formulating concrete recommendations.
Additionally, Mohamed Lahbabi, the president of the pharmacists' union, raised concerns regarding the challenges faced by pharmacies, attributing these difficulties to outdated legislation that no longer aligns with the current realities of the sector. This discussion, organized in collaboration with the PAM Academy, led by Ahmed Akhchichine, seeks to train and structure party members ideologically.
By openly recognizing the insufficient visibility of the reform's effects for many citizens, the PAM seems to be initiating a new phase of reflection on health reform. This approach is crucial, as transforming the health system is a long-term endeavor that requires both institutional reforms and concrete applications in the everyday lives of Moroccans.
