Morocco

The worsening of the health human resource crisis for most countries, Morocco inclusive, is a pressing reality. To complement Governments’ efforts in responding to the human resources for health crisis the Positive Practice Environments (PPE) Campaign was launched in 2008.

This initiative is undertaken in a spirit of professional cooperation, collaboration and determination to affect a real and positive impact in working conditions of health care professionals in all disciplines and organizations and thereby strengthening the delivery of care and improving patient outcomes.

The Campaign proposes to work initially and more intensively with a small number of key countries. Morocco has been selected by all core partners as a focus for specific activities supported by Campaign funds.

A National Steering Committee has been established and includes representatives of:

  • Association Marocaine de Prévention Bucco-Dentaire
  • Association Marocaine des Sciences Infirmières et Techniques Sanitaires
  • Conseil Régional des Pharmaciens d'Officine du Nord

The National Steering Committee serves to guide PPE implementation at the country level with local professional organisations and other key health sector stakeholders, e.g. Ministry of Health, World Health Organization.

Currently we are working to establish a network of National Collaborating Partners in Morocco. Participation in the PPE Campaign as Collaborating Partner is an opportunity to network with other dedicated and enthusiastic colleagues to help shape the implementation of the Campaign and support the introduction/strengthening of Positive Practice Environments in the health sector.

If your organisation is interested in joining the campaign, please contact the PPE Campaign Secretariat for more information about becoming a National Collaborating Partner (ppe@icn.ch).

A 3-day workshop has taken place 5-7 May 2010 in Rabat with national stakeholders in order to:

  • Bring together different health partners to work toward a common goal related to PPEs
  • Analyze the PPE situation in Morocco
  • Build strategic alliances and create a common advocacy platform for PPE
  • Adopt a National Project Implementation Strategy
