Introductory paper on the My Health in My Coverage project
Believing in the importance of collaborative work in implementing public policies, and seeking to improve social conditions, raise awareness of the importance of health coverage and its benefits for the family and society, and motivate professionals, independent workers and non-salaried persons to register for health coverage, the Foundation is implementing the “My Health in My Coverage” project in partnership with the Ministry of Health.
Project objectives:
- Raising awareness of the importance of health coverage and its benefits for the family and society
- Motivating professionals, independent workers and non-salaried persons to register for health coverage
- Informing about legal developments related to health coverage and the entry into force of Law No. 99.15 and Law No. 98.15 aiming to establish a pension system and a basic compulsory health insurance system for the benefit of professionals, independent workers and non-salaried persons who practice a private activity.
Motivations for implementing the project:
- Lack of a culture of health coverage among self-employed persons

Description of the scope of health intervention to implement the components of the proposed project:
The city of Rabat is characterized by a high density of professionals, independent workers and non-salaried persons such as taxi owners, street vendors or butterflies, whether Moroccans or foreigners, so the Rabat community, especially the Hassan district, will conduct awareness campaigns aimed at encouraging participation in health coverage.
Description of the human and material capabilities and energies available to the institution to implement the proposed project:
