Moroccan Pharmacists Caution on Drug Price Revisions
The Moroccan Pharmacists' Union expressed its reservations about the draft decree approved by the Government Council on July 22, 2026, concerning the revision of medication prices. It criticized the manner in which it was managed and the failure to incorporate the professionals' proposals into the final version. The union emphasized that the continued stockouts and disappearance of some low-cost medicines from the market threaten patients' right to access treatment. It also considered that reliance on imports reduces Morocco's pharmaceutical sovereignty. Additionally, the union warned that the mechanisms for price reduction could be costly and may not achieve the desired impact on purchasing power. It pointed out that pharmacies are suffering from difficult economic conditions without parallel measures to expand healthcare services. The union affirmed that the decree reflects a lack of a comprehensive vision and displays political considerations at the expense of dialogue and the public interest, holding the government responsible for any repercussions that could threaten pharmaceutical security and sector stability.
