The World Health Organization (WHO) has officially classified Morocco as a “country mastering hepatitis B,” acknowledging significant progress in vaccination, screening, and treatment.
The announcement was made during the WHO Regional Committee session for the Eastern Mediterranean, held in Cairo this week.
This milestone marks a major achievement in Morocco’s public health strategy and brings the Kingdom closer to its goal of eliminating hepatitis B as a public health threat.
The recognition reflects years of sustained efforts to curb the spread of the virus, which remains a global health challenge.
WHO’s decision is based on Morocco’s strong performance in several critical areas: such as universal Vaccination, enhanced surveillance and standardized Treatment Protocols.
