The government has embarked on a major overhaul of the health sector, following two decades of under-funding and mismanagement. In addition to the modernisation and upgrading of existing facilities, the Ministry of Health's development programme includes the provision of three new teaching hospitals in Fez, Marrakech and Oujda.
The national health insurance scheme launched in 2005 is expected to provide substantial additional funding for the health sector. Initially aimed at salaried workers, the scheme has been expanded to cover the self-employed. The CNSS, which operates the scheme in the private sector, recently announced that it would be extending cover to ambulatory care in addition to hospital treatment. A health insurance scheme for those on very low incomes is still in the early stages of implementation and is now not expected to be rolled out on a national basis until 2010.
