The government council approved the appointment of Huda Soufiani as director of the National School of Public Health and Awlad Lahsan Ahid as director of the Pasteur Institute of Morocco. These appointments, overseen by the Minister of Health and Social Protection, Ameen Tahrani, concern central institutions within the health system.
This decision comes amid a growing trend to assign leadership positions to professional competencies with experience in the public sector, enhancing institutional performance and focusing on effective management, free from unprofessional considerations.
Huda Soufiani, who is currently acting director of the Moroccan Center for Poison Control and Pharmacovigilance, is recognized as a specialist in drug safety and health risk management. She has accumulated significant field and scientific experience and has participated in international programs affiliated with the World Health Organization, alongside contributions to training and academic research.
Conversely, Awlad Lahsan Ahid comes from the academic and hospital fields, serving as a professor of higher education in infectious diseases. She possesses a scientific background spanning general medicine to research in virology and genetics. She also plays roles within national scientific bodies and participates in developing preventive programs and research projects related to infectious diseases and vaccination.
These appointments reflect a move to value female national expertise within decision-making centers, enhancing the governance of health institutions through competent individuals capable of leading training, research, and health vigilance, during a phase marked by rapid transformations within the sector.
