Who holds the health record in Morocco?
In 2026, Morocco scores 36 of 100 on a person's right to see, control and share their own health record: rank 116= of 198 countries (likely range 90 to 149), in the Weak band (25 to 44). Who holds the keys: Institutional. Source: Health Record Rights Index, SuperTruth, this country's data as of 2026-10-01.
Providers and insurers decide. Its strongest right against the other countries is research and trial consent (49, against a median of 46 across 198 countries); its weakest is connected care journey (30, median 38).
Moroccans can ask each doctor for a copy of their file, but no shared record exists yet; a July 2026 bill would create one.
