Casablanca-Settat launches new health group to boost care access for all

On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch chaired the first board meeting of the Territorial Health Grouping (GST) for the Casablanca-Settat region. This new structure, the sixth of its kind in Morocco, aims to manage public healthcare in the country's most populous region, which includes 376 primary health establishments and nearly 4,943 beds. For Moroccan expats returning home or monitoring the health system's evolution, this reform is great news. It promises better coordination between hospitals, clinics, and primary care centers, focusing on proximity, quality, and equity. The government sees this GST as a model for other regions, strengthening local governance and supporting the generalization of social protection. Practically, this means smoother care pathways, shorter waiting times, and better resource management. Expats can expect a more reliable system during their stays in Morocco. The 2026 budget was adopted, and the university hospital center is expected to play a key role in this transformation. Stay tuned to see how this reform impacts your health during your visits to Morocco.
