A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF PALLIATIVE CARE IN MOROCCO: NEEDS FAR BEYOND MEANS

ABSTRACT

Morocco's approach to developing palliative care is notably constrained, with an
almost complete scarcity of laws and regulations in this area. Despite some
progress, palliative care remains fragmented and underdeveloped, with persistent
disparities in its accessibility and provision. Nationally, there is a lack of
sufficient and detailed information about its progress. This paper aims to fill
this gap by offering an overview of the history, infrastructure, education, and
legislation framework surrounding palliative care in the country. Significant
strides have been made since its implementation, but challenges persist,
including the need for a comprehensive legislation framework, more trained
professionals, and expanded services beyond oncology to other chronic diseases.
Strengthening infrastructure and policies is essential to meet the growing needs
of Morocco's population.
