The National Health Syndicate arrives in Bouznika
Under the slogan “Valuing Human Resources as a Fundamental Pillar for Building a Sustainable Health System,” the National Syndicate of Public Health, a member of the Democratic Federation of Labor, is organizing its ninth national conference on April 18, 19, and 20 at the International Youth and Childhood Complex in Bouznika.
A press release from the syndicate indicated that the opening session, to be held at the Al-Alfassi Theatre (Simia Hall) in Rabat on Friday, April 18, will witness the presence of guests from the Socialist Union of Popular Forces, union leaders within the Democratic Federation of Labor, representatives from professional associations and health syndicates, as well as health experts.
This conference will see the participation of more than 400 delegates from various regions of the kingdom, discussing core issues relating to the sustainability of the health system, primarily the valuation of human resources, improving working conditions, and reviewing the promotion system.
The conference will also discuss a draft resolution for the demand file, which starts from the premise that achieving meaningful and comprehensive reform in the health sector necessarily involves responding to the legitimate and just demands of health professionals from all categories. These demands include not only the implementation of all articles of the agreement signed on July 23, 2023, and the preservation of historical gains included in the civil service framework, but also improving salaries and incentives, enhancing continuous training, providing necessary work tools and medical equipment, and ensuring legal and professional protection for practitioners.
The ninth national conference of the National Syndicate of Public Health will deliberate on a draft organizational resolution aimed at making fundamental changes and amendments to the syndicate’s constitution, enabling it to keep pace with the profound transformations taking place in the national health system.
According to the same source, this step is part of the syndicate’s efforts to develop its organizational work tools and align them with the new dynamics of the health sector reconstruction initiative. This amendment will also aim to define the position and role of the syndicate’s bodies within the new system by creating new, more effective organizational structures that enhance the syndicate’s representative and negotiating capabilities and respond to the requirements of the coming phase.
It is expected that a concluding statement reflecting the aspirations of the health workforce will be issued at the end of the conference’s proceedings, laying the groundwork for a comprehensive reform vision.
