A large union meeting in Tangier addresses the challenges of implementing the territorial health group
On Tuesday, March 31, 2026, the city of Tangier witnessed a high-level union and administrative meeting dedicated to monitoring the progress of the territorial health group project in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region. The discussions were described as candid, focusing on the situation of health workers and the challenges accompanying this reform initiative.
The meeting, which included representatives from the Ministry of Health and Social Protection as well as officials from the territorial health group, brought together various components of the union coordination in the health sector, along with regional and national union leaders. The session lasted for several hours and featured direct discussions about several professional and administrative issues that remain unresolved.
Discussions concentrated on the realities of human resources, the working conditions within health institutions, and the issues related to the restructuring of the health system at the regional level. Unions emphasized the necessity of providing clear guarantees to protect acquired rights and alleviating the uncertainty surrounding many aspects of the administrative and professional situations of sector workers.
In contrast, administrative representatives presented an overview of the project’s progress, addressing the union leaders’ queries in an atmosphere that highlighted the high expectations surrounding this reform, especially amid increasing pressure on the health system.
The discussions resulted in the documentation of initial indicators for addressing some urgent files, along with an agreement to adopt a mechanism for continued dialogue and tracking other outstanding issues in the upcoming period, aiming to ensure a balanced implementation of this project.
Attention now turns to the upcoming statement from the national union coordination, which is expected to reveal the details of the agreements and conclusions reached. Meanwhile, union organizations affirm their ongoing mobilization to defend the interests of health professionals and support the reform process in the sector.
