The National Human Rights Council (CNDH) and the Ministry of Health and Social Protection are organizing, on Tuesday 7 May 2024, a meeting of the National Multi-Sectoral Committee within the framework of implementing the integrated national strategy for human rights, HIV, tuberculosis and viral hepatitis for the period 2024-2030.

This meeting will take place at the CNDH headquarters in Rabat, Morocco, at 8:30 am.

This event is part of the support for implementing the national strategy, which is the first of its kind to address these three diseases and the third for HIV. This strategy integrates the needs of those infected with these diseases to accelerate progress towards their elimination by 2030, in alignment with Sustainable Development Goals.

This meeting aims to address the core principles, objectives and key areas of intervention outlined in the new strategy. It also seeks to present the memorandum related to minors’ access to diagnoses for the three diseases. Besides, the meeting will provide an opportunity for consultations on the main activities, measures and priorities for the year 2024.

Representatives from CNDH and its CRDHs’, various relevant ministerial sectors, NGOs, United Nations agencies in Morocco, persons affected by HIV and tuberculosis and other relevant stakeholders will participate in this meeting.

Partnership agreement, signed by Ms. Amina Bouayach, CNDH Chairperson, and Mr. Khalid Ait Taleb, Minister of Health and Social Protection, on 4 December 2023 in Rabat, Morocco, focuses on the “National Strategy for Human Rights, HIV, Tuberculosis and Viral Hepatitis 2024-2030.” It aims to protect human rights and reduce stigma, discrimination and inequality against individuals infected with these viruses and those at risk of infection.
