The Moroccan National Agency of Health Insurance (ANAM) and the Ministry of Health have achieved a new improvement on the health insurance program with 165 new medications that will now be refundable. Morocco has a compulsory health insurance programme.
Seventy of the medications are expensive and often prescribed for chronic or severe diseases, such as cancer, hypertension, diabetes, Psoriatic arthritis, Hepatitis B and C, depression, and some fertility-related medications.
Since its inception in 2006, ANAM has succeeded in putting in the refund program 8466 medications, 3015 of which are generic drugs.
Advocacy Action: PDGN Vice-President, Senator Mustafa Brahami is among Morocco’s parliamentary champions who raise the profile of medicines and treatments requiring regulatory approval. Is there a similar regulatory body in your country and are you raising improvements for people with diabetes with them, or with your Government to instruct them to evaluate something?
