Roundtable tackles lifelong health challenges for Moroccans with mental disabilities
@Source: yabiladi.com
A roundtable on «The Health of People with Mental Disabilities Throughout Their Lives: Realities and Challenges» was held Monday at the headquarters of Special Olympics Morocco. Organized by the Moroccan Collective for the Promotion of the Right to Health of People with Disabilities (CPH), the event brought together public officials, civil society actors, healthcare professionals, and international organizations to assess the current situation, identify structural challenges, share good practices, and propose concrete action plans.
Participants adopted a life-cycle approach, addressing the specific needs of individuals with mental disabilities from early childhood through old age. Discussions highlighted the importance of cross-sector collaboration—spanning health, education, social protection, and employment—and stressed key priorities such as early intervention, school inclusion, access to adapted healthcare, empowerment, and aging support.
The organizers noted that the initiative is part of efforts to advance the royal vision of a more inclusive and equitable Morocco, one that guarantees dignity and rights for all citizens without exception. They also pointed out that people with mental disabilities remain among the most marginalized populations in the country.
The meeting aimed to promote accessible, equitable, and rights-based healthcare for individuals with mental disabilities, aligned with the principles of Framework Law 97.13 and Morocco’s international commitments. Ultimately, this collective mobilization seeks to strengthen a national movement toward inclusive public policies grounded in participation, non-discrimination, and equal opportunity.
