Health Ministry Announces Recruitment Drive for 800 Medical Personnel

Morocco’s Ministry of Health and Social Protection has launched a recruitment campaign to hire 800 nurses and health technicians, targeting priority specialties based on healthcare facility needs and available market profiles.
The initiative forms part of efforts to strengthen human resources within the health sector and support structural reforms currently underway in the national healthcare system, according to the ministry’s statement.
The recruitment process will commence once waiting lists for ongoing competitive examinations are finalized, ensuring fairness and equal opportunity among candidates. Position distribution will be decided through coordination with trade unions within the central committee responsible for assignments and transfers, maintaining a participatory and transparent approach.
The campaign aims to effectively address staffing requirements for nursing and technical competencies while helping resolve existing shortfalls in this critical sector. Healthcare facilities across Morocco face persistent personnel gaps that impact service delivery, particularly in specialized medical areas and rural regions.
The ministry emphasized that this measure aligns with broader objectives of maintaining service continuity and advancing comprehensive health system reform. Ultimate goals include improving care quality and ensuring more accessible health services for citizens across all kingdom regions.
Morocco’s healthcare sector has faced longstanding human resource challenges, with personnel shortages affecting both urban and rural facilities. The recruitment drive represents one element of wider reform efforts aimed at modernizing healthcare infrastructure, expanding service coverage, and improving patient outcomes.
The ministry’s coordinated approach with labor unions reflects efforts to balance institutional needs with workforce concerns, ensuring that new hires are distributed according to genuine facility requirements while respecting established procedures for competitive recruitment and transparent assignment processes.
This recruitment campaign follows previous healthcare sector investments and reforms aimed at strengthening Morocco’s medical capacity and improving health outcomes nationwide.
