On Friday 22 April 2022, the National Human Rights Council (CNDH) presented its thematic report on the right to health, entitled: The effectiveness of the right to health in Morocco… Challenges and ways to its strengthening.

This report presents the obstacles faced by citizens to access their right to health. It also proposes approaches to address them, not only based on legal texts that guarantee the right to health but also by searching for obstacles related to the implicit determinants of the right to health, particularly the economic, social, cultural and environmental ones.

This report is the result of national and regional meetings. It was based on a participatory approach. Various institutional actors, professionals, experts and researchers concerned with the right to health contributed to this report. The participatory approach was also an opportunity to propose practical solutions consistent with regional and local specificities that would contribute to promote the right to health for all citizens.

Based on this approach, the report provides essential foundations for building and engineering a national health strategy guaranteeing the right to health for all and facing social and territorial disparities that impede the enjoyment of this right through five main axes to ensure effective access to the right to health for all citizens.
