In a Monday interview, Health Minister Amine Tahraoui discussed the Agadir hospital deaths and the ongoing investigation, outlined plans to expand university hospitals and upgrade health facilities, addressed investment incentives for the private health sector, and clarified the context of a viral video from a recent field visit.
Minister of Health and Social Protection Amine Tahraoui appeared before the Social Sectors Commission on Wednesday, where he outlined achievements from 2022 to 2025 and detailed projects planned through 2027. The late-night hearing came amid ongoing street protests marked by heightened tensions.
Since September 27, Morocco has witnessed youth-led protests calling for investment in health and education rather than costly preparations for AFCON 2025 and the 2030 World Cup. Similar outrage erupted in South Africa (2010) and Brazil (2014), where citizens condemned lavish sports spending and demanded priority for essential public services.
