Health & Welfare Policy: Morocco’s 2027 budget plans link welfare support to formal jobs, pairing a one-time payment for households losing direct assistance with job-search and childcare grants, while continuing compulsory health insurance expansion and financing for social protection. Hospital Capacity & Costs: The same budget priorities point to new university hospitals in Laayoune and Rabat by end-2026, ongoing construction in Beni Mellal, Guelmim and Errachidia, plus rebuilding/renovations across major facilities including Casablanca and Agadir, with renovations at 90 hospitals and a push to lower medicine costs. Refugee Health & Aid Access: Morocco urged UNHCR to shift Tindouf camp spending toward long-term solutions, arguing that years of humanitarian funding have entrenched a “maintenance regime,” with nutrition and economic self-reliance deteriorating and employment access remaining severely restricted. EU Funding Pressure: EU development aid discussions could increasingly fund migration deportations rather than traditional health and poverty programs, raising concerns that already tight assistance budgets may be squeezed. Citizenship & Services: Spain’s parliament backed a law granting Spanish nationality to Sahrawis born under Spanish administration (before 29 Sept 1977) and to their children, with eligibility not requiring current residence in Spain—an issue that could affect future access to health and social services for eligible families.
