Article Abstract
The Moroccan healthcare system is facing several challenges in ensuring equitable access to quality services and reducing or at least controlling their rising cost. Telemedicine can address these two needs by optimizing the use of existing human and material resources through telecommunications. Today, the gradual increase in the population's healthcare needs poses a major challenge to the Moroccan healthcare system, given the shortage of personnel in healthcare facilities and the persistent difficulties in accessing certain regions. In this regard, Morocco has established a regulatory framework defining the rules for the practice of telemedicine. Several initiatives have been launched, particularly in the public sector, aiming to cover 80% of medical deserts in Morocco by 2025.
