Moroccan pharmacists urge government price talks
The article focused on the reaction of Moroccan pharmacists' unions following the government's approval of the draft decree to revise medication prices on July 22, 2026. The confederation expressed concern over the lack of participatory consultations and the potential withdrawal of inexpensive medicines from the market, threatening citizens' rights to healthcare and increasing dependence on imports, while local production diminishes. They emphasized that the new measures to reduce the prices of expensive drugs will not significantly improve purchasing power but will instead place greater pressure on pharmacies and jeopardize the stability of the healthcare sector. They underscored the importance of a balanced reform that ensures price reductions while maintaining the sustainability of the health system. The government and the Ministry of Health were held responsible for the implications of the decree on drug security and the stability of pharmacies, which are currently facing difficult economic conditions.
