Rabat – Morocco is fast-tracking the digital transformation of its healthcare system through two major agreements announced during GITEX Africa 2025 in Marrakech, a premier event for digital innovation across the continent.
The event served as a high-level platform for government officials, industry leaders, and digital pioneers.
One of the key moments was the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the Ministry of Health and Social Protection and the Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion (CDG).
Speaking to Morocco World News in an official statement, Khalid Safir, Director General of CDG, talked about the strategic importance of this partnership: “We are making our technical expertise available to the Ministry to develop and implement digital systems, enhance service delivery, and support the overall governance of Morocco’s health information ecosystem.”
The agreement outlines the creation of a digital innovation lab within the ministry, the design of tailored digital solutions, and the deployment of necessary human and organizational resources, all while maintaining stringent data security standards.
The initiative falls in line with Morocco’s broader digital transformation agenda. “It’s a partnership that allows us to do what we cannot do alone,” said the Minister of Health and Social Protection, stressing on the significance of collaboration with a trusted institution like CDG.
“We’re working with the methods and codes of the digital sector to build a smarter, more efficient healthcare system.”
The minister also signed a second agreement with the Mohammed VI Foundation for Sciences and Health, along with the organizers of GITEX Africa 2025, to launch GITEX Future Health Morocco Africa, a new annual event dedicated to e-health and biotechnology.
The first edition will take place in Casablanca in April 2026.
This new platform aims to position Morocco as a regional and continental hub for health innovation, scientific knowledge, and investment.
It reflects a strategic vision to embed digitalization into the country’s healthcare infrastructure while attracting global stakeholders to its growing ecosystem.
Both agreements are aligned with the structural reforms currently underway in Morocco’s health sector, under the directives of King Mohammed VI.
They represent more than administrative milestones, they mark a turning point in the way healthcare will be delivered, governed, and evolved in the years ahead.
