Two private clinics in Larache have received an ultimatum from the Ministry of Health after refusing to treat a 14-month-old baby whose condition was deemed critical. They could be closed if they fail to correct the shortcomings identified.
Amine Tahraoui, the Minister of Health, stated before the Parliamentary Commission on Social Sectors that he had requested the suspension of investment subsidies for private clinics during a meeting of the National Investment Commission.
Faced with a structural shortage of doctors and nurses, the Moroccan government had to adopt a comprehensive strategy: opening up to foreign practitioners, more training, new bonuses, and statutory reform.
