The African Development Bank (AfDB) has announced a financing package of €120 million (MAD 1.3 billion) to support the expansion of healthcare access in Morocco.
The funding, which the bank provided through a results-based financing instrument, aims to improve the well-being of the Moroccan population, with a particular focus on women living in rural and isolated areas.
Titled “Programme to Support Inclusive Access to Healthcare Infrastructure,” the project includes several key components designed to address various aspects of healthcare provision.
These include improving access to primary and secondary healthcare infrastructures, and modernizing healthcare services by deploying “innovative solutions that improve connectivity,” indicated AfDB in a press release.
In addition, the project aims to “strengthen governance through better allocation of human and financial resources.”
While the project targets the entire Moroccan population, it will particularly focus on the regions of Beni Mellal-Khenifra, Draa-Tafilalet, and Guelmim-Oued Noun.
The expected outcomes of the project include building and equipping hospitals in the targeted regions, including the Beni-Mellal Regional Hospital Center, the Azilal Provincial Hospital Center, the Fkih Ben Salah Provincial Hospital Center, as well as women’s and children’s care units at the Guelmim Regional Hospital and Fkih Ben Salah Provincial Hospital.
