Cureus. 2023 Jun 29;15(6):e41143. doi: 10.7759/cureus.41143. eCollection 2023 Jun.

Abstract

Despite progress in recent years, access to quality medical care remains a significant issue, particularly in rural areas. The unequal distribution of resources, inadequate funding, healthcare worker shortages, and the rise of non-communicable diseases pose substantial challenges. However, implementing universal health coverage and improving key health indicators demonstrate notable achievements. To further enhance the healthcare system, perspectives such as addressing resource disparities, increasing funding and the healthcare workforce, managing non-communicable diseases, embracing digital technologies, strengthening public healthcare, and focusing on prevention and health education are proposed. These perspectives offer a global vision for improving Morocco's healthcare system's efficiency, inclusiveness, and quality, ultimately ensuring equitable access to healthcare services for all citizens.
