Interest and challenges of the resilience of the Moroccan healthcare system to the test of Covid 19

Abstract

In accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, and taking into consideration that the right to health is one of the fundamental human rights, the State is obliged to set the principles and objectives in the field of health, as well as the organization of the health system. As a result, the state's actions in the area of health focus on prevention of health risks, health education, the establishment of a healthy lifestyle and the provision of care. However, our health system can always be confronted with health hazards that require the health system to be resilient. This requires acceptable levels of resources in terms of human capital, technology and budgetary resources, as well as consideration of the governance and administration of healthcare provision, and the introduction of sovereign financing. However, this cannot be achieved without political resolve and determination on the part of all stakeholders, particularly healthcare staff, political parties and social partners. This means adopting an effective approach to reform and providing the resources needed to implement the various projects. The recent covid 19 pandemics has revealed the scale of the world's healthcare system, which means that we need a healthcare system that is capable of responding to the upheavals and uncertainties of the environment. The aim of this paper is to highlight the interests and challenges facing our healthcare system in the face of this health crisis, and to define the response strategies adopted.
