RAMED puts citizens at the heart of the royal vision of human development. Under this scheme, people living in poverty receive free health care, while those in vulnerable situations will have to pay 120 dirhams per person per year,a maximum 600 dirhams per household. RAMED Illustrates the perennial attention of His Majesty King for social action in favor of the dignity of man, the medical assistance program provides access for the first time the poor to benefit from public health services, on an equal footing with other social categories.
The new medical plan is based on the principles of social welfare and national solidarity in favor of the poor and those not eligible for health insurance scheme (AMO). Beneficiaries are covered by RAMED without discrimination due to age, sex or medical history or their areas of residence.
RAMED therefore establishes the principle of equity for hospital services and embodies the right of access to healthcare for the Moroccan population, particularly for the poor and vulnerable.
This regime will fall into place, gradually in three stages to meet the demands of citizens and will be fully
operational in January 2013. The first stage began on March 13, improving sanitary supplies in hospitals and access to health care and emergencies, including the creation of local emergency centres.
The second phase involves the building and equipment acquired by the management of identified hospitals, especially for emergencies,
The last phase will start in January 2013 and will be marked by the establishment of legal measures and solving the problems of human resources and funding.
It should be emphasized that this coommendable major royal initiative was welcomed and supported by UNICEF and WHO. RAMED is considered one of the key social initiatives of the Moroccan King's reign along with the National Initiative for Human Development (NIHD), because it helps to democratize health care and promotes the conditions for a dignified and prosperous life.
Finally the official launch of the Sovereign's RAMED programme shows the royal solicitude toward the economically weak and reflects the desire of the King of Morocco to monitor the implementation of this public plan based on the principles of social assistance and national solidarity and for the improvement of living conditions and health of thousands of citizens.
Access to care is no longer a gift but a right enshrined in the new Constitution and confirms that the principle of equity and universal access to health care has become a reality. By placing the welfare of the state to serve the most disadvantaged, this new milestone of public policy is the best illustration of the royal interest in a dignified and prosperous life of all citizens.
