Graduates of the Higher Institute of Nursing Professions and Health Technologies in Casablanca, Morocco, are protesting the recent job competition requirements announced by the Moroccan Agency for Medicines and Health Products. The graduates, who hold a diploma in pharmacy preparation, claim that the requirements unfairly favor candidates with different specialties. They argue that this move contradicts the legal framework governing this category of health professionals.
The protesting graduates had been waiting for nearly 135 of them to be employed by the agency. However, the new requirements have dashed their hopes. They express frustration, having contributed significantly to the pharmaceutical field for years. The graduates believe their expertise is essential for ensuring the quality and effectiveness of medicines and health products.
The graduates emphasize that their role as pharmacy preparers is crucial in the pharmaceutical sector. They have been involved in securing and maintaining the quality of medicines and health products within the Directorate of Medicines and Pharmacy. The graduates argue that their academic and field training qualifies them to work within the agency.
The graduates take issue with the agency's decision to classify holders of degrees in various specialties as "health technicians." They claim that this classification is inconsistent with the decree regulating the employment conditions of health technicians. The decree specifies that only graduates of higher institutes of nursing professions and health technologies or equivalent are eligible.
Some of the graduates have completed internships in facilities under the sector, giving them a deep understanding of the work and its requirements. They believe that the agency needs their specialized skills. The graduates are calling on the relevant authorities to intervene and find a solution to their situation.
The graduates are demanding an exceptional job competition that addresses the agency's needs for pharmacy preparers. They seek employment opportunities that match their qualifications and training. The graduates hope that their concerns will be heard, and a resolution will be reached.
The situation highlights the challenges faced by graduates in Morocco's healthcare sector. The graduates' protest underscores the need for clear and fair employment requirements. A resolution to this issue could have implications for the future of healthcare professionals in Morocco.
