Mohamed Chouki Launches “Path to the Future” to Assess Social and Health Reforms
In the opening of the national forum on “The Health System and Social Protection,” Mohamed Chouki, president of the National Rally of Independents party, highlighted the commencement of a new phase in public discourse regarding the future of social reforms under the slogan “Path to the Future,” during the events of the gathering of the National Organization of Health Professionals.
Chouki explained that the choice of the health sector as the starting point for this initiative is not arbitrary. It reflects the party’s recognition of the importance of this sector as a fundamental pillar of the social state and a means to ensure citizen protection and improve their quality of life. He emphasized that the current phase represents a new step in addressing major reforms, moving beyond initial conceptualizations, and entering a stage of monitoring progress and evaluating its actual impact on citizens’ lives, while ensuring they are informed about what has been achieved, how it was accomplished, and the ongoing projects that need completion.
He stressed that the reforms being undertaken in the health sector are based on multiple axes, including the enhancement of hospital infrastructure, the development of university hospitals and community health centers, attention to human resources and attracting talent, introducing a new generation of governance, expanding digitization, and legislative reforms that lay the legal foundations for restructuring the sector. He also praised the government’s role in implementing the strategic vision of King Mohammed VI to develop the health system and enhance social protection efforts.
Chouki affirmed that the National Rally of Independents relies on listening, closeness, and engaging in responsible dialogue with various stakeholders, especially healthcare professionals who meet citizens’ needs and challenges daily. He considered their involvement in evaluation and proposal-making an essential part of the party’s reform methodology. He pointed to the necessity of continuous listening to professionals and objectively evaluating the results of the reforms, with a readiness to adapt policies as needed.
He noted that the country is facing a delicate political moment that requires clarity and trust in addressing citizens, and transparently presenting the outcomes of reforms with realism, while approaching challenges with humility, away from exaggeration or pretense.
Chouki clarified that “Path to the Future” aims to engage national talents and professionals in collective thinking regarding reform perspectives, recognizing them as essential players in health development efforts. He recalled the role played by the National Organization of Health Professionals since its inception in formulating ideas and suggestions, and in involving various stakeholders in discussions on enhancing the health system.
In his speech, Chouki highlighted that the party’s strength lies in its field competencies that understand the daily realities of Moroccans, balancing experience with renewed vitality, which enables building a future of reform with efficiency and responsibility, while preserving achievements to serve citizens.
