Moroccan Study Mission to Paris

Publiée le : 04 July 2006

The mission was organised with in the framework of the administrative agreement signed between the two countries in September 2005. The GIP is responsible for implementing the part of the agreement pertaining to basic medical coverage for Morocco.

The delegation, led by Driss Guerraoui, Social Affairs Adviser to the Moroccan Prime Minister (see interview), comprised the directors of Morocco’s three compulsory health insurance bodies and representatives of its five main trade unions. On 5 April 2005 the latter had joined with the Moroccan authorities in signing a charter for the implementation of a Basic Medical Coverage Code.

The main goal of the mission was to foster a transfer of know-how to those Moroccan institutions who will have the task of negotiating agreements with Morocco’s health sector professionals.
The aim of the GIP programme was to allow the Moroccan delegation to meet with many of the French actors involved in negotiating health sector agreements:

• the competent administrations and health agencies responsible for the medically-driven control of health expenditure, i.e. the Social Security Directorate (DSS) and the French National Health Authority (HAS),
• representatives of the French health insurance funds: National Health Insurance Fund (CNAM) and National Union of Health Insurance Funds (UNCAM),
• the professional federations: National Federation of French Mutual Benefit Societies (Mutualité Française) and the French Hospital Federation (FHF),
• representatives of the French employers’ and workers’ unions: Medef, CFDT, CGT and FO,
• representatives of France’s unions of self-employed practitioners: Confederation of French Medical Unions (CSMF) and MG-France.

The meetings also provided an opportunity for the delegation to learn more about France’s health insurance governance reform.
