The Moroccan National Union of the Health Sector has called for the acceleration of promotions, transfers, and administrative situations, as well as the payment of outstanding dues and compensation. The union, affiliated with the National Union of Work in Morocco, made these demands during a consultative meeting held on September 17, 2026, with the Director General of the Territorial Health Group. The meeting was attended by human resources officials.

The union emphasized the need to guarantee professional stability for Ibn Sina hospital employees who have been redistributed to various hospitals in the region. The union also stressed the importance of preserving their rights and benefits, allowing them to choose between retaining their current work locations or transferring to other locations according to their preferences. This move aims to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the quality of healthcare services.

The union also raised concerns about the status of the special statute for the Territorial Health Group and its implications for the workforce. The union demanded clarification on the legal and professional status of employees to preserve their rights, benefits, and professional stability. This request comes as the group prepares to implement its new structure and policies.

Furthermore, the union requested disclosure of the adopted organizational structure for the Territorial Health Group and clarification on the position of various services and institutions within it. The union warned that the lack of official information could lead to misinterpretations and called for the establishment of institutional and regular social dialogue. This would facilitate the discussion of outstanding issues and promote a collaborative approach to problem-solving.

The union's demands are part of its efforts to protect the interests of healthcare professionals and ensure the delivery of quality healthcare services. The Moroccan healthcare system has faced challenges in recent years, including staff shortages and inadequate resources. The union's efforts aim to address these issues and promote a more efficient and effective healthcare system.

In a statement, the union emphasized its commitment to monitoring the progress of the issues raised and supporting the various stages of implementing the Territorial Health Group project. The union's involvement in the reform process is crucial in ensuring that the needs and concerns of healthcare professionals are taken into account. This, in turn, will contribute to the success of the project and the improvement of healthcare services in Morocco.

The outcome of the meeting and the union's demands will likely have a significant impact on the healthcare sector in Morocco. The union's efforts to promote social dialogue and protect the rights of healthcare professionals are essential in maintaining stability and promoting progress in the sector. The situation will continue to be monitored, and further developments will be reported as more information becomes available.
