Morocco's delegation to the 78th session of the World Health Assembly (WHA), taking place in Geneva from May 19 to 27, has been involved in a series of intensive bilateral and multilateral engagements as part of this major global health event.
Morocco's active participation reflects the Kingdom's ongoing commitment to international efforts aimed at building more resilient, equitable, and sustainable health systems, in line with the High Directives of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Minister of Health and Social Protection, Amine Tehraoui, told MAP.
Speaking during the Assembly’s plenary sessions, the official delivered both the address on behalf of the Francophone Group and Morocco’s national statement. He highlighted the major structural health reforms initiated under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
In his remarks, Tehraoui stressed that “the pace of global change calls for a redefinition of healthcare priorities, with a clear focus on achieving universal health coverage and enhancing the resilience and sustainability of health systems—especially in light of challenges such as climate change.”
He also welcomed the approval of the WHO’s pandemic agreement on Tuesday, describing it as “a strong sign of our collective ability to rise above differences and work together for the health of all.”
The Moroccan delegation participated in a series of parallel strategic meetings, including the Council of Arab Health Ministers, a high-level session on sustainable health financing organized with Africa CDC, and an event on local drug production.
The minister also co-chaired a high-level side event devoted to the presentation of a draft resolution aimed at strengthening and promoting the global health workforce by 2030.
