Morocco Health Reform Program

The development objective of the Health Reform Program-for-Results for Morocco is to strengthen institutional capacity and governance for improved provision of quality public health services in the program area. This will be achieved by supporting the implementation of the first three pillars of the government health system redesign program, each of which correspond to result areas for the program. The first result area supports strengthened institutional capacity through the new deconcentrated governance system, through the rollout of the new deconcentrated governance system including a focus on improved administrative capacity, gender, and climate-sensitive health planning; improved content, quality, and accessibility of health data; and mechanisms to improve information exchange between central and regional entities, as well as collect information on patient satisfaction. Through its second result area, the program seeks to improve the availability, motivation, and competence of human resources for health (HRH), particularly through interventions improving training capacity for nurses and health technicians by over 50 percent, supporting curriculum reforms, and operationalizing the new health service to improve the quality-of-service delivery. The third result area supports the reorganization of health services through rehabilitation of public primary health care (PHC) facilities to address climate vulnerabilities, the institutionalization of quality evaluation and improvement in public health facilities and strengthening of epidemiological surveillance capacity including for climate change related health issues.
