Moroccan public health sector goes on strike next week

Moroccan public health workers, personnel, nurses and physicians, will stage a two-day strike this Dec. 30-31 to protest the authorities' indifference and failure to meet their grievances

The public health sector observed last Nov.25-26 a strike after the competent authorities retracted to the offers they made earlier to the health workers to convince them cancel a scheduled strike.

The workers claim improvement of their financial situation and work conditions including some social and professional allowances.

The public health sector counts over 4,000 physicians and 25,500 para-medical personnel and workers.
