The Ministry of Health and Social Protection has announced the assignment of 566 specialist doctors from the 2025 promotion in the different regions of the Kingdom, in the context of sustained efforts aimed at resolving the human resources deficit in hospital structures.
Speaking on Monday at the House of Representatives, Minister Amine Tahraoui said that this measure is part of a global fair and efficient distribution strategy for medical and paramedical staff, in order to guarantee better access to care throughout the national territory.
Responding to an oral question of the Authenticity and Modernity Group on the shortage of executives in public hospitals, Mr. Tahraoui recalled that the ministry opened, between 2020 and 2024, some 19,564 budgetary positions within the framework of regional competitions, an annual average of 3,913 recruitments. This system has gradually strengthened health services in several regions, particularly those with a structural deficit.
The Minister also indicated that two promotions of specialist doctors were mobilized for the year 2025: that of 2023, with 241 professionals, and that of 2024, with 454 new specialists. This anticipation aims to accelerate their deployment in the field and to exceed the constraints linked to provisional assignments.
Thanks to this dynamic, several provinces have seen their medical coverage strengthened. Among the notable assignments, there are 26 posts in Al Hoceima, 18 in Azilal, 13 in Boujdour and 17 in Tinghir. In a more global way, the region of Béni Mellal-Khénifra welcomed 71 new specialist doctors, as is the Tangier-Tétouan-Al Hoceima region, including 26 for the Al Hoceima province alone, while the Drâa-Tafilalet region benefited from 58.
These assignments have made it possible to introduce or strengthen certain previously available specialties, such as anesthesia-resuscitation, gynecology-obstetrics or radiology.
Aware of the specific challenges posed by rural and landlocked areas, the ministry has implemented a set of incentive measures to encourage professionals to establish themselves in a sustainable manner. Among these measures are the creation of the public health service with wages adjusted according to the assignment areas, as well as the granting of additional premiums for the most disadvantaged regions.
In addition, work infrastructure has been modernized as part of territorial health groups, in order to offer a more attractive professional environment. The Minister also mentioned the increase in risk allowances, in recognition of constant efforts made by health professionals at the service of citizens.
