Who holds the health record in Morocco?
In 2026, Morocco scores 36 out of 100 for how much say a person has over their own health record. It is tied for 116th of 198 countries and territories, and could rank anywhere from 90th to 149th allowing for scoring error, in the Weak band (25 to 44). Who holds the keys: doctors, hospitals and insurers. Source: Health Record Rights Index, SuperTruth, this country's data as of October 1, 2026.
Doctors, hospitals and insurers decide. Its strongest right, compared with the typical country, is your say over research use (49 out of 100, against 46 for the typical country). The furthest behind is one record across your care (30 out of 100, against 38 for the typical country).
Moroccans can ask each doctor for a copy of their file, but no shared record exists yet; a July 2026 bill would create one.
