The healthcare system in the kawaliss Rif region, as in the rest of Morocco, is based on a combination of public and private services. However, the region faces unique challenges due to its history, geography and economic and social marginalisation. Here is an overview of the main elements and challenges specific to the health care system in the Rif:
Medical infrastructure: The Rif region has several public hospitals, health centres and clinics. However, these establishments are often under-equipped and lack qualified staff, particularly in rural areas.
Public health programmes: National programmes, such as the Medical Assistance Scheme (RAMED), are in place to provide free or reduced-cost care to disadvantaged populations, including in the Rif.
RAMED is crucial to improving access to healthcare for the most vulnerable populations.
Private clinics and hospitals: Private clinics and hospitals do exist, but their number is limited in the Rif compared with Morocco’s major cities. They are often perceived as offering better quality care, but remain inaccessible to many inhabitants because of their cost.
Development projects: Specific development initiatives are being put in place to improve the health infrastructure in the Rif. For example, after the 2004 earthquake in Al-Hoceima, efforts were made to rebuild and modernise health facilities.
Training and recruitment: Efforts are being made to train and recruit local medical staff to make up for the lack of health professionals in the region.
Regional inequalities: The Rif region suffers from disparities in terms of access to healthcare compared with urban areas. Infrastructure is often inadequate, and there is a lack of medical specialists.
History of protest: The region has a history of protest and marginalisation, which has influenced development priorities and the allocation of resources.
Non-governmental organisations: Several international and local NGOs work in the region to provide health services, particularly in rural areas and for marginalised populations.
They play a crucial role in the provision of basic healthcare and in public health initiatives.
