Morocco’s Ministry of Health announced a national plan to rehabilitate 83 hospitals across the country amid mounting scrutiny questioning the strength of the public health sector.

Minister of Health Amine Tahraoui presented Morocco’s plan for the sector at the House of Representatives on Monday, saying that the rehabilitation program covers 83 hospitals with a total capacity of 8,700 beds.

Of these, 1,729 beds will be operational this year, with an additional 2,056 beds expected by 2028.

He pledged an ambitious investment policy seeking to expand and modernize public hospitals to strengthen healthcare services, noting that the rehabilitation project will be completed by 2030.
