Morocco's health sector: social dialogue with the CDT

The union maintains its demand for centralised salary payments and protection of civil-service rights. In the same statement, it acknowledges a positive ministerial response to staff concerns, after previously calling for a boycott of the next meeting.

The dispute concerns how salaries are budgeted under the reform of territorial health groups. On 10 November, the minister had said the state would continue to fund them. The sources consulted establish neither an independently measured strike participation rate nor a new signed agreement; the 13 November meeting remains planned.

The minister cited Article 23 of the 2025 finance law and the decrees governing territorial health groupings. He said the Kingdom’s General Treasury would continue processing and paying these salaries.

He also said staff would retain their civil servant status and salary guarantees. His statements respond to union concerns over the reform’s implications. They do not announce a new pay rise or establish that the labour dispute has been resolved.

The action concerns staff pay guarantees. The union accuses the proposed 2027 budget of failing to honour commitments in the 23 July 2024 agreement on payment of wages through the general state budget.

That allegation remains the organisation's position. The consulted articles give no government response to its open letter. Participation and effects on care cannot yet be assessed.
