Supporting health benefits package design in Morocco
Supporting the Moroccan National Agency of Health Insurance to redesign its health benefits package
Country Focus
Morocco
Why was this work needed?
The Moroccan National Health Insurance Agency (ANAM), with the support of the World Health Organisation, is updating the compulsory health insurance benefit package as part of the country's commitment to universal health coverage. This update is in line with Morocco's evolving health needs, the global push for universal health coverage as part of the Sustainable Development Goals, and the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic. By reconciling health priorities with limited resources, the revised package aimed to ensure equitable, cost-effective and essential health services, supporting Morocco's goal of extending social protection and improving access to healthcare for all.
