The Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, and the company MEDIOT Technology signed the partnership agreement, which is aligned with Morocco’s vision seeking to empower rural communities by ensuring their access to health services.
It is also part of King Mohammed VI’s instructions to introduce necessary reforms to improve Morocco’s health system and generalize social protection.
The program consists of the deployment of connected medical units in areas suffering from a deficit in access to health services. Each unit includes a general practitioner, two nurses, and an administrative assistant.
They are also equipped with cutting-edge biomedical equipment enabling in-person medical consultations for general medicine and specialized teleconsultations via a connection with the central telemedicine platform made up of specialists in gynecology-obstetrics, pediatrics, endocrinology dermatology, and cardiology, among others.
The initial implementation of the program involves deploying 50 connected mobile medical units throughout various regions across Morocco in 40 provinces.
The first phase of this program will require the mobilization of 20 specialist doctors for the central telemedicine platform, 50 general practitioners, 100 nurses, and 100 assistants, spread across the different provinces.
Under the program, the stakeholders will invest MAD 180 million to implement the first phase of the program.
