@@momof4vlogs So, picture this: I got a nasty infection on my right foot from an insect bite. Off to the pharmacy I went, where they armed me with an antibiotic and some ointments. Fast forward a bit, and suddenly I’m channeling my inner pufferfish-lips and throat swelling up like they were auditioning for a horror movie. Breathing? Yeah, that became an extreme sport. So, off I dash to urgent care. The doctor practically teleported into the room-seriously, I waited like 20 seconds. He asked if I had diabetes, did a quick blood test to make sure my foot wasn't about to stage a rebellion, and quickly diagnosed the problem: an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. Next thing I know, I'm whisked into another room for some IV fluids and anti-allergy meds. After 45 minutes of feeling like a human pincushion, my lips and throat finally deflated back to their normal size. Now, here's the kicker: my wife tells me I need to pay before I can leave. I'm bracing myself for a bill that would make my wallet cry, but she says it's only $30. Thirty bucks! I’m gobsmacked. I happily hand over the money, still in bed with the IV dripping away. Oh, did I mention I’m originally from Morocco? Yep, this all went down in a public hospital in northern Morocco while I was there for a family visit. Having lived in the U.S. for 24 years, I was blown away by the price and quality of treatment. Plus, I didn't even have insurance! So, there you have it-my brush with disaster turned into a happy ending and a wallet that didn’t scream in agony.
Actually, I broke my leg a very long time ago and was rushed inside the hospital right away. Here's the kicker: you have to know someone on the inside. Idk if that's still the case today but, yeah that's how I got in. Good luck.

Morocco can be seen as a paradise for the wealthy, but its public health system leaves much to be desired. Thank you for drawing attention to this issue.
She's new in Morocco and doesn't know everything yet, true that the public hospital is horrible but you should know that the private ones are very affordable, you don't even need insurance or wait days to take an appointment.
It's a third world country with third world country problems. She spends over $5k a month living in Morocco....And it simply feels like any country in Africa
Who told you so. No one can deny you service if you don't have money. Yet, try to go to a clinic or a Moroccan hospital without a check or cash...good luck@@sihame7076
I am Moroccan American who lived in both Morocco and the US. In Morocco, you don’t need insurance to see a doctor, it’s very affordable and pharmacists also can prescribe a lot of the medications. If you walk to a pharmacy, just ask to speak to a pharmacists and explain the issue and they can tell you what you need to buy. So in your case, you needed antibiotics which is something that can be bought without a prescription. Emergency rooms in public hospitals are mostly free, so they are funded by the government, so you won’t get quality care. Whereas in America all medical expenses are insanely expensive. My mother just had a back surgery and her insurance paid almost 500k for that, which is crazy. She had a similar surgery 20 years ago in Morocco and she paid 6k. So in America they offer you quality healthcare, but you have to pay a hefty price for that. My kids have medical conditions and we pay around 20k between premiums and the deductible a year before the insurance covers them at a 100%. So it’s very hard to compare the health system for both countries. As a Moroccan resident, you should look into getting you health insurance, or have some savings in case you need something. The good thing is that you can see any specialist same day, whereas here, it takes forever to see one. I actually have an appointment scheduled a month before to see a dermatologist because I am not their patient. Also with my mom’s condition, the insurance kept denying her request for surgery. We had to go to the emergency and go through that to get her surgery done. Both countries have their pros and cons, so there is no perfect system in either countries, you just have to learn how the system work in there to make sure you and your kids stay safe. Also private hospitals are not that expensive, so if you really have a true emergency, just go to a private hospital. My sister has a don who has some medical issues, so she often takes him to a pediatrician hospital in the middle of the night and she pays 60$ which is very affordable compared to the $1000s of dollars you get when you go to an ER in the US
This is a great comment. It is both realistic and objective coming from a person with actual experience of both health systems. Thank you for sharing. Having had similar experiences both in the US and here, i agree with everything you said.
Facts. Thank you so very much. I just arrived in Morocco and am still hesitating whether I should subscribe to a private health insurance or simply go to to the private hospital and pay for it whenever needed since it is also very affordable compared to France. True as to pharmacist as well they are very competent and have everything. Thank you for your very valuable comment. Wishing all the best to your Mum 🤲
Hospitals in Morocco are closer to being a purgatory than a hospital, but instead of getting purified you may end up in a worst shape than when you first got there.
Its true, you touched here a very sensitive issue, health and education are big issues in Morocco and shame on the officials in charge of those departments for a such bad situation
3 domains need really to be revisited in Morocco , and that are really crumbling : 1- Health system, 2- Education, 3- Justice , unfortunately : these 3 domains will never be improved , because we're NOT a sovereign country ... as most of the Policies are dictated by the IMF ......
& that's the issue , public educational systems are supposed to provide equal chances to all the kids no matter what their IQ is , if having a decent academic career isn't possible unless u are really smart than the educational system is not successful @mostwardi4389
I have been living in Morocco 10 years .. I am currently visiting USA but returning in a month... Would love to have a cafe with you and talk. I have a lot of insight on Morocco from a woman's perspective. I lived in both Rabat and Temera. I too love Morocco very much!
Unfortunatly there is no good quality for health services in morocco. You can see a lot of problems in this domain, the ministre is not able to resolve theese problems he is lazy😅😅
Thank you for the video, I live in the US. My sister went to a private clinic in Rabat. The bill was crazy we weren’t able to get her out until the bill was fully paid. I went to a hospital in Morocco last year I felt it was a hospital that has stopped in time, like it was a hospital of 1960. Stay away from hospitals and courts and you will be fine in Morocco
Hello, If people ask you if you have British accent while clearly you have an American Accent, please don’t be offended. For people who don’t speak English very well, it’s hard for them to distinguish between the 2 accents. They just don’t know thats all.
I went to this hospital with my son summer 2023. I was shocked to see that the first person you can see is a security guard and that you have to pay without even knowing what your problem is The outside was ok but the reception was dirty and the examination room looked like a storage room.
I have friend she needed to have urgent surgery, her husband took her to a private hospital, they refused to start the surgery and by the way her leg was hanging on her body and she needed help urgently but they just won’t start the surgery until her husband managed to get the money somehow to pay them then they took her in. This is one of the reasons why I still hesitate to go back to Morocco to live, and like you said in America the last thing they ask about is money, first they save you they take care of your health problem, then they figure out how you going to pay or who will help pay the bills and if you don’t have money you don’t even pay anything. Love Morocco despite what’s going on in the hospitals.
Erin you described my exact ex perience I had in South America. A friend had to pay alot out of pocket before they addressed a life threatening illness.
I was in tanger, I saw kid who lost his hand fingers in a workshop accident.. blood was coming from his hand non stop, I saw him enter the red cross hospital emergency.. well they refused to accept him while he was screaming in pain and horror, because he didn't have money until another man intervened and told the nurses that he will pay for him ..only then he was accepted. In other words if you are poor here you are doomed.
Totally agree! Sadly, public hospitals in Morocco often don’t meet the standards you’d expect, especially compared to Europe and North America. Plus, there's a misconception among many Moroccans that the US healthcare system is terrible, which might explain some comments from people at the hospital. Private clinics generally offer great service, but I’ve heard horror stories about people being turned away because they couldn’t pay upfront. Morocco definitely has some big structural issues with healthcare that no government or politician has tackled yet. By the way, I really enjoy your videos-keep enjoying the beauty of Morocco! 😊
If you want to get treated in public hospitals easily, you need to know someone who works there, like a nurse or a security guard. That person will get all the work done for you in no time. The second method is to bribe someone there. If you do, you will be treated like the director. This is the sad story about the moroccan public hospitals 😢😢
Interesting I was going to ask. My husband born and reared in Casablanca was in a bad car accident in Morocco 10 years ago in a coma for two months. Because of the expertise and skill of the Moroccan Doctors they saved his life. Today he is walking and running alert and oriented playing basketball against 20 year olds. Eating good like nothing never happened. There are excellent Doctors in Morocco. It’s important to have family and others involved too. We are in US now but will move to his home soon. I am a Nurse at Duke in US that is world known I know top quality and it’s there in Morocco.
Welcome to real Morocco. Welcome to the suffering a regular moroccan citizen suffers every and all day . There is a lot to see in future. And yes in emergencies in morocco , there is no triage . Only security staff .
@@tarikrafiq1846 there is no suffering... and i said that because i know how to compare to the US. the US doesn't have public/free health care... while morocco does if its related to basic health care.
in fact the public hospital in Morocco requires serious reform. For good reason, few people go there for care. I completely understand your concerns regarding an emergency situation that could arise for you or one of your children. If you carry out a paid activity in Morocco, either as an employee, trader, craftsman or business manager, the best option is to request registration with the CNSS (national social security fund). This will allow you to obtain coverage for your medical care and hospitalization costs for you and your children. By presenting your CNSS card you will automatically be taken care of in any private clinic. Important advice: Apart from the CNSS, you should not contact private insurance companies. First of all, they are expensive and above all their hospitalization cover offer is not always guaranteed. They always find an excuse not to repay the bill.
My family moved to the West African country of Liberia for several months when I was 13. The humidity was hellish. We ran the AC 24/7. The first time we went to a "supermarket" I honestly thought we were going to starve to death. But I digress. The divide between the haves and the have nots was everywhere. Thank God I never had to go to the hospital because the only hospital was nicknamed JFK = just for killing. It wasn't all bad in hindsight but when you are a child you tend to forget the bad stuff. We mostly ate at the Embassy because my father would have lunch with us and they had a swimming pool on the grounds and the food was not bad. My mother who was a high school teacher took off work and we were supposedly home schooled, but most of the permanent kids went to the one British school so we really only interacted with kids our age if we went to other people's homes. My mother had a dental issue, it is so long ago that it seems irrelevant now, but I am sure she wished she hadn't. I can't ask her but after we returned she tested positive for Hep. B. So we all had to be jabbed. Ugh! It is worlds away from Morocco which seems so modern in contrast, but I can see some similarities. You are smart to be cautious. Especially if the healthcare at the public ones is free.
in the US also these is no public hospital and if you search in google "why public hospitals are bad" you will see why public hospitals shouldn't be a thing in any way because it can't reach the basic needs of people. and thats everywhere.
those who go to the public hospital are generally the poeple who are really in need...I mean poor and defavorised franges of the society...they pay nothing but they are not well welcomed they wait and wait till they are treated. poeple who are busy and have money, they can give themselves better service when paying money. and yes, in private sector you put a cheque as guaranty then you get the health service, and if you have an accident, of course they take you as an emergency case to public hospital and you do not pay anything, it was the case for my sister.
You brought a trending topic in Morocco as the protesting is still going on. You are right that it doesn't feel professional because they might be interns and the official doctor is maybe outside or whatever. There are many changes upcoming to hospitals in Morocco and future doctors are protesting. If you have money and insurance, you will choose private hospitals as many people do here in Morocco. You could've done a quick live or posted a question on UA-cam to ask about a good private hospital in Rabat and there are many. The ER in Morocco is mostly bad but some departments are better than others especially Souissi, so until you know the in and outs or the situation gets better, go for the private one.
@@nadiabelaroussi548 fc*&k you and f&c*k all hospitals in morocco . Im so old and i know my whole life what is hospitals in morocco and you can ask any moroccan will tell you the same stop playing.stop covering the truth.everything in morocco is corrupt.

@@nadiabelaroussi548 he is right + there is a huge strike right now since weeks no one is working especially the young doctors from the med school who usually help a lot.
Hey Erin! I'm moroccan, born and raised. Lived my whole life in Morocco and moved to the US after high school. I studied medicine in the US. I have friends who became doctors in Morocco. When I compare my work conditions to theirs, it's horrible especially in the public field. Obviously there are many aspects to compare between the 2, but the US definitely has better quality which is far more important! As a physician, I care more about the quality of healthcare that my patients will get in most instances. Morocco is more affordable...yes, BUT even with certain private hospitals, the quality is still mediocre compared to the US. I can't generalize, but it is what it is! I'm glad your condition didn't get worse and you were able to get the help needed, but definitely go to other "well-known" private hospitals in the future! Healthcare in Morocco is currently undergoing many reforms so we're hoping for better days 😊
It sounds like the policy of paying upfront is in place to ensure that hospitals can cover their costs, especially since many people might struggle to pay their bills after receiving treatment. This approach can help manage financial risks for healthcare providers, but it can also be challenging for those who need immediate care but can't afford to pay upfront. It's a tough situation for sure.
In the USA, health care is completely private. Yes, they help you out, but then the bill which inmost cases very expensive unless you have some coverage. Wil Smith made a movie about the health care situation in the US. Also, as is tourist in the US, you will need to pay upfront to get medical care. Now, Morocco has public hospitals that are for poor people who can't afford to go to private clinics. In your case, infected tooth, you should have gone first to a pharmacy to get some antibiotics for at least 3-4 days to get rid of the infection and (yes, Morocco has antibiotics at pharmacies without prescription. I know in US & Canada you need a Dr's prescription, not here). Dentist or Emergency Hospital can't actually do anything for an infected tooth until the infection is gone. Be there done that SO REMEMBER PHARMACISTS CAN REALLY HELP YOU BEFORE GOING TO DR OR HOSPITALS THEY KNOW A LOT TRUST ME.
If you have a serious situation then the most important thing is that someone from your family comes with you to sign the documents and confirm that they are going to pay and that's it and they do everything quickly for you in a private clinic.
I think the hospital was empty because of the current nationwide boycott by nurses and health technicians that has been going on for the last two months, give or take. However, the ER is supposed to be working fine.
Hey Erin, if you want good dentist you need to check in Casablanca there is one his last name Othmani or Otmani I don’t remember his name, he has big clinic in Casablanca one of the best in Morocco !!
Don’t you ever go to a public hospital in Morocco. All hospitals in the U.S are private. Private hospitals in Morocco’s are just as good and much cheaper than their counterparts in the USA. Good luck🙌
In you case you need to pay complete heath insurance. Moroccan has universal basic health insurance cover like 75% And they can pay extra complimentary insurance to cover 25%.
depends they are some who are good, like the new one in rabat near the sea, but most are not and you need to go to a private one to get a real care but it's expensive
Make sure you ask where the Dr or dentist got their diploma from... Or get a reference list from the embassy... Or join an expat group they know all the good doctors in Rabat and Casa
Hey I've been enjoying watching your all your videos of you and your amazing children im a fan of your channel keep the content coming Sorry you had to experience this in Morocco I think if we all Stay healthy stay safe then hopefully no need for hospitals
You need to buy a private insurance in Morocco. Only the very poor and disadvantaged go to public hospitals because they have no choice. I could never willingly walk into one. It is a shame!!!
erin have u ever thought about what makes moroccans emigrate in large numbers? there are three things. i call them the three disasters (education, health, justice), especially education. just look at the world rankings and u will know why those who have little awareness emigrate. This is something systematically done by the state to make moroccans not know their rights, afraid of the police, afraid of those who have money. it's a jungle. there is a moroccan proverb that says those who don't know anything don't demand anything. And the state (The Makhzen) applies it literally. thank to "Poseidon" because I got out of the scary jungle.
My dear I don’t know where you were living in America !! But in America they don’t accept you if you don’t have heath insurance which cost a lot of money , last week I went to the emergency in Charleston and I spent the whole day there, they let you wait for hours and hours, and I signed paper and provided my heath insurance card before processing my reports, I have seen people in bad situation and no body rush to serve them immediately because it was busy, have been to Saudi Arabia and is also the same, Erin you need to have health insurance and no body will ask you to pay in the emergency, please go to cheikh zaid hospital emergency and ask them how to get heath insurance and get your teeth done there. Good bless you
To be very honest public hospitals in Morocco are for the lower class citizens. Middle class and above that can afford private so they do. Public hospitals are mainly free and paid for by the government and you don’t pay a lot for insurance so it’s just the most basic needs that are being covered, and sometimes even less than that so that’s why public hospitals aren’t great. Private isn’t really expensive and private hospitals are Amazing even better than in the us and Europe so please just go to the private hospitals from now on
Public hospitals in Morocco are known to have significant issues. There are discussions about potential privatization of these hospitals in the future. However, details on how this privatization will be implemented are not yet known.
If you want like pediatricte like a kids hospital there is one called cheikh zayd which is located in the soissi area hospital 24 h working but it's private yo gotta pay for it
That sucks however they would still take care of you and save you without being in debt however here in USA they do well taking care of you but the price that you have to pay after is insane.
I'm not sure about Rabat but in Casablanca there are state of the art dental clinics and they do great work. I live in spain and they charge on average 1200 euros per tooth for veneers , I got them done for 4000 dhs (400 euros) per tooth (12 in total) and they look so nice and natural. There was a huge difference in the price when I was done paying for everything. btw when they ask you if you are English or American, it is a legitimate question. They don't speak English very well, so they're not able to distinguish accents. Just like you won't be able to distinguish between Moroccan, Egyptian or lebanese accents.
Hi, i have thought about this matter, in which why the moroccan healthcare is so bad; I came to the conclusion that is a matter of mindset of the Moroccans. No medical failure is chased and reported publicly to force and to improve the sector for the better. people in the health care should take responsibility to willing to improve oftherwise the ministery of healthcare should take actions. unfortunatly, the wealthy of the country also do not criticieze the sector, rather they fly to Europe for their healthcare. as such nothing changes for the moroccans with average income…. hope your vlog gives this subject more attension

it's free so somtimes you can finde nice peple nad good care somtimes not that much.. i wont lie to you i have never been to a public hostpitals only the one for the royal forces wich the closet to public i have been.. i go to doctor for anything i have a health insurence so i can have my money back .. so it's totally free from doctor visit to medication everything is paid back to me hamdolilah .. but even if it's totally free i feel sorry for those who have to suffer from that we need more humanity in the stuff that works in hospitals ...
Most doctors in morocco have no manners.A qualified moroccan doctors (7 years to qualify) can not practice in the UK. (Only 5 years to qualify).I went to A&E souissi Rabat,was shocked, left after 45 min. Took a plane next day to london . Once I went to a dentist in temara,he didnt have gloves!!!!! A toothache is far better than hepatitis c or aids. Dentist was qualified in UKRAINE !!
Unfortunately, you are starting to uncover or discover to your surprise some of the dark side of this special country ... Hope you d be convinced to decide what to do later in Morocco ... Good luck on your journey within this beautiful country...
This is one of the first points you learn in morocco not to go to public hospital. Also its not good to say " in Morocco" better to quote the City you live in because its not all over the same. Me for example we had the experience to pay in a hospital after we were there
Darling, yes the public hospitals are horrible but the new public hospitals are so good, the big hospital ibn sina is in building in rabat and the health care there will be so good and its free
To give a quick explanation, a doctor in Morocco needs to study for 19 years to complete his studies, and when they complete 19 years, they graduate and most of them go to Europe, especially France, because of the high salaries or to private hospitals, why? Because public hospitals don't pay them much, so most of the doctors working in public hospitals don't complete 19 years of education, they are called "stager" here (they are working and completing studies at same time this give them more exeprience ) , I encountered one of them in Casablanca when I was getting my teeth fixed, it was a horrible experience, the doctor removed 2 molars and then he started talking to his friend and left me with blood in my mouth. this is called Brain Drain with no wars here morocco is ranked 23 out of 177 countries in the index of human flight and brain drain yes the life is cheaper and private education is on higher level even public one is not bad but why wasting time working here when you can get paid in europe x10 and work less that it wich you understand the whole problem to fix this the country decided to remove one year of studies for them so they cannot fly out to europe bcs they have one year missing but they refused this and start protests against it lol
Hello Erin, I'm dentist but in Marrakech. I m so sorry for your bad expérience with dentist and with public hospital. First of all never go to public hospital, its a nightmare, second they are à lot of excellent dentist in Rabat, but you must ask, look for a good one and have a recomandation. If you need some advice please you can ask me what you need.
Many people in my surroundings are unusually having teeth issues these days and I wonder why ? Is it a post covid and post jab symptoms ? And the dentists around the world can’t keep up with the number of patients visiting them for pain without true swollen gum
May be a private health insurance should be thought of. There is some good insurance companies who sell that. It's expansive but i think it's worth it...
You are right. I am Moroccan, emergency in public hospitals here are a joke and the health system in general not because we do not have good doctors or nurses but because the infrastructure the equipment i mean the staff can not really serve anyone without the equipments.. It is really frustrating but for you i think you can go to private hospitals and they are no where near the cost in America i know from UA-cam the prices are Ridiculously high. For the dentiste you should make sure your are in the cabinet of a dentiste doctor because there are also teeth professionnels or makers i do not know how to translate it to English exactly but these are not doctors and it is better to avoide them although they tend to charge cheaper
the busy public hospital in morocco is in casablanca. people coming and going. people cleaning, eyckman. its called morisgo but dont expect bed side treatment but they take care of the business. they are rude and cranky though.
If I understand, you went to a public hospital to fix a tooth. If so, usually Moroccans don't do that (probably very poor people go there). Dentist, go always private and way cheaper than in the west.
Was easy to go to a clique or private doctor it s only less than 20 dollars Where u were not a hospital or emergency hospital it’s like community hospital for some easy emergency like a scratch to get a needle … local they may get some medicine … it’s like paradmedic in America
Imagine how these Hospitals react on disasters like the earthquake or traffic accidents its horror on horror. Country ruled by backward rulers, they probably have a healthcare minister guess what he does to get payed!
Any public hospital stories you guys have?
@@momof4vlogs So, picture this: I got a nasty infection on my right foot from an insect bite. Off to the pharmacy I went, where they armed me with an antibiotic and some ointments. Fast forward a bit, and suddenly I’m channeling my inner pufferfish-lips and throat swelling up like they were auditioning for a horror movie. Breathing? Yeah, that became an extreme sport.
So, off I dash to urgent care. The doctor practically teleported into the room-seriously, I waited like 20 seconds. He asked if I had diabetes, did a quick blood test to make sure my foot wasn't about to stage a rebellion, and quickly diagnosed the problem: an allergic reaction to the antibiotic.
Next thing I know, I'm whisked into another room for some IV fluids and anti-allergy meds. After 45 minutes of feeling like a human pincushion, my lips and throat finally deflated back to their normal size.
Now, here's the kicker: my wife tells me I need to pay before I can leave. I'm bracing myself for a bill that would make my wallet cry, but she says it's only $30. Thirty bucks! I’m gobsmacked. I happily hand over the money, still in bed with the IV dripping away.
Oh, did I mention I’m originally from Morocco? Yep, this all went down in a public hospital in northern Morocco while I was there for a family visit. Having lived in the U.S. for 24 years, I was blown away by the price and quality of treatment. Plus, I didn't even have insurance!
So, there you have it-my brush with disaster turned into a happy ending and a wallet that didn’t scream in agony.

In her country, you will not be seen if you don't have insurance.

If you walk to a pharmacy, just ask to speak to a pharmacists and explain the issue and they can tell you what you need to buy.

Emergency rooms in public hospitals are mostly free, so they are funded by the government, so you won’t get quality care. Whereas in America all medical expenses are insanely expensive. My mother just had a back surgery and her insurance paid almost 500k for that, which is crazy. She had a similar surgery 20 years ago in Morocco and she paid 6k. So in America they offer you quality healthcare, but you have to pay a hefty price for that. My kids have medical conditions and we pay around 20k between premiums and the deductible a year before the insurance covers them at a 100%. So it’s very hard to compare the health system for both countries. As a Moroccan resident, you should look into getting you health insurance, or have some savings in case you need something. The good thing is that you can see any specialist same day, whereas here, it takes forever to see one. I actually have an appointment scheduled a month before to see a dermatologist because I am not their patient. Also with my mom’s condition, the insurance kept denying her request for surgery. We had to go to the emergency and go through that to get her surgery done. Both countries have their pros and cons, so there is no perfect system in either countries, you just have to learn how the system work in there to make sure you and your kids stay safe. Also private hospitals are not that expensive, so if you really have a true emergency, just go to a private hospital. My sister has a don who has some medical issues, so she often takes him to a pediatrician hospital in the middle of the night and she pays 60$ which is very affordable compared to the $1000s of dollars you get when you go to an ER in the US

This is a great comment. It is both realistic and objective coming from a person with actual experience of both health systems. Thank you for sharing. Having had similar experiences both in the US and here, i agree with everything you said.
True Morocco is still available than the USA to come to health care.
Facts. Thank you so very much. I just arrived in Morocco and am still hesitating whether I should subscribe to a private health insurance or simply go to to the private hospital and pay for it whenever needed since it is also very affordable compared to France. True as to pharmacist as well they are very competent and have everything. Thank you for your very valuable comment. Wishing all the best to your Mum 🤲
Morocco is a shithole when it comes to healthcare😂
Hospitals in Morocco are closer to being a purgatory than a hospital, but instead of getting purified you may end up in a worst shape than when you first got there.
Hhhhhh hadi kaina hhhhh
Its true, you touched here a very sensitive issue, health and education are big issues in Morocco and shame on the officials in charge of those departments for a such bad situation
Officials are greedy bastards who run private hospitals and don't get a fuck about public hospitals
Education and health in the private sector are very good in Morocco tho! So people just stick to private and ignore the public sector.
3 domains need really to be revisited in Morocco , and that are really crumbling :
1- Health system,
2- Education,
3- Justice ,
unfortunately : these 3 domains will never be improved , because we're NOT a sovereign country ... as most of the Policies are dictated by the IMF ......
What the issue with education and justice
Education is good unless if you are not smart enough and that ur issue
My sons have very good education here.
I beg to differ. I'm not sure where you got your info from, but Morocco is a sovereign nation with its own institutions, constitution etc...
& that's the issue , public educational systems are supposed to provide equal chances to all the kids no matter what their IQ is , if having a decent academic career isn't possible unless u are really smart than the educational system is not successful @mostwardi4389
I have been living in Morocco 10 years .. I am currently visiting USA but returning in a month... Would love to have a cafe with you and talk. I have a lot of insight on Morocco from a woman's perspective. I lived in both Rabat and Temera. I too love Morocco very much!
Unfortunatly there is no good quality for health services in morocco.
You can see a lot of problems in this domain, the ministre is not able to resolve theese problems he is lazy😅😅
Did you try the American one????? It is literally atastrophic
Get well soon. You are right, the public health system needs to be improved drastically and quickly
Thank you for the video, I live in the US. My sister went to a private clinic in Rabat. The bill was crazy we weren’t able to get her out until the bill was fully paid. I went to a hospital in Morocco last year I felt it was a hospital that has stopped in time, like it was a hospital of 1960. Stay away from hospitals and courts and you will be fine in Morocco
الحقيقة تؤلم

The health care in America and Morocco are both horrible but for very very different reasons

Hello,
If people ask you if you have British accent while clearly you have an American Accent, please don’t be offended. For people who don’t speak English very well, it’s hard for them to distinguish between the 2 accents. They just don’t know thats all.
Well said . Thak you.
Thank you
Also british english is beautiful
I went to this hospital with my son summer 2023.
I was shocked to see that the first person you can see is a security guard and that you have to pay without even knowing what your problem is
The outside was ok but the reception was dirty and the examination room looked like a storage room.
When i travel to Morocco, i always go to private, they take care of me 😊 Alhamdurillah
there is no public hospitals in morocco , we moroccans we call them slaughterhouses, if u wanna a hospital u have to pay.
I have friend she needed to have urgent surgery, her husband took her to a private hospital, they refused to start the surgery and by the way her leg was hanging on her body and she needed help urgently but they just won’t start the surgery until her husband managed to get the money somehow to pay them then they took her in.
This is one of the reasons why I still hesitate to go back to Morocco to live, and like you said in America the last thing they ask about is money, first they save you they take care of your health problem, then they figure out how you going to pay or who will help pay the bills and if you don’t have money you don’t even pay anything.
Love Morocco despite what’s going on in the hospitals.
Erin you described my exact ex perience I had in South America. A friend had to pay alot out of pocket before they addressed a life threatening illness.
I was in tanger, I saw kid who lost his hand fingers in a workshop accident.. blood was coming from his hand non stop, I saw him enter the red cross hospital emergency.. well they refused to accept him while he was screaming in pain and horror, because he didn't have money until another man intervened and told the nurses that he will pay for him ..only then he was accepted. In other words if you are poor here you are doomed.
Totally agree! Sadly, public hospitals in Morocco often don’t meet the standards you’d expect, especially compared to Europe and North America. Plus, there's a misconception among many Moroccans that the US healthcare system is terrible, which might explain some comments from people at the hospital. Private clinics generally offer great service, but I’ve heard horror stories about people being turned away because they couldn’t pay upfront. Morocco definitely has some big structural issues with healthcare that no government or politician has tackled yet. By the way, I really enjoy your videos-keep enjoying the beauty of Morocco! 😊
If you want to get treated in public hospitals easily, you need to know someone who works there, like a nurse or a security guard. That person will get all the work done for you in no time. The second method is to bribe someone there. If you do, you will be treated like the director. This is the sad story about the moroccan public hospitals 😢😢
You live and learn 😊
Try to void any thing public in Morocco
Public hospitals
Public restrooms
Public Hamam
Public swimming pools
Interesting I was going to ask. My husband born and reared in Casablanca was in a bad car accident in Morocco 10 years ago in a coma for two months. Because of the expertise and skill of the Moroccan Doctors they saved his life. Today he is walking and running alert and oriented playing basketball against 20 year olds. Eating good like nothing never happened. There are excellent Doctors in Morocco. It’s important to have family and others involved too. We are in US now but will move to his home soon. I am a Nurse at Duke in US that is world known I know top quality and it’s there in Morocco.
Happy to here he fully recovered ❤️
Welcome to real Morocco. Welcome to the suffering a regular moroccan citizen suffers every and all day . There is a lot to see in future.
And yes in emergencies in morocco , there is no triage . Only security staff .
calm down what suffering u talking about? sure there are issues but you gotta stop your crazy sarcasm

@@tarikrafiq1846 there is no suffering... and i said that because i know how to compare to the US. the US doesn't have public/free health care... while morocco does if its related to basic health care.
and also morocco's private hospitals are at the same level of US's private hospitals (like i said there is no public hospitals in the US)
You can go to cheikh zaid clinic in Rabat in case emergency
So bad health care in Morocco soooo dirty hospitals!!!! Unfortunately
Oui et j'espère que ça s'améliore prochainement inchallah, merci d'avoir révèle le sujet...
in fact the public hospital in Morocco requires serious reform. For good reason, few people go there for care. I completely understand your concerns regarding an emergency situation that could arise for you or one of your children. If you carry out a paid activity in Morocco, either as an employee, trader, craftsman or business manager, the best option is to request registration with the CNSS (national social security fund). This will allow you to obtain coverage for your medical care and hospitalization costs for you and your children. By presenting your CNSS card you will automatically be taken care of in any private clinic. Important advice: Apart from the CNSS, you should not contact private insurance companies. First of all, they are expensive and above all their hospitalization cover offer is not always guaranteed. They always find an excuse not to repay the bill.
My family moved to the West African country of Liberia for several months when I was 13. The humidity was hellish. We ran the AC 24/7. The first time we went to a "supermarket" I honestly thought we were going to starve to death. But I digress. The divide between the haves and the have nots was everywhere. Thank God I never had to go to the hospital because the only hospital was nicknamed JFK = just for killing. It wasn't all bad in hindsight but when you are a child you tend to forget the bad stuff. We mostly ate at the Embassy because my father would have lunch with us and they had a swimming pool on the grounds and the food was not bad. My mother who was a high school teacher took off work and we were supposedly home schooled, but most of the permanent kids went to the one British school so we really only interacted with kids our age if we went to other people's homes. My mother had a dental issue, it is so long ago that it seems irrelevant now, but I am sure she wished she hadn't. I can't ask her but after we returned she tested positive for Hep. B. So we all had to be jabbed. Ugh! It is worlds away from Morocco which seems so modern in contrast, but I can see some similarities. You are smart to be cautious. Especially if the healthcare at the public ones is free.
🙏🙏🙏thank you!for your sincerity
in the US also these is no public hospital and if you search in google "why public hospitals are bad" you will see why public hospitals shouldn't be a thing in any way because it can't reach the basic needs of people. and thats everywhere.
those who go to the public hospital are generally the poeple who are really in need...I mean poor and defavorised franges of the society...they pay nothing but they are not well welcomed they wait and wait till they are treated. poeple who are busy and have money, they can give themselves better service when paying money. and yes, in private sector you put a cheque as guaranty then you get the health service, and if you have an accident, of course they take you as an emergency case to public hospital and you do not pay anything, it was the case for my sister.
Yes we agree, it's true Moroccan know that.
You brought a trending topic in Morocco as the protesting is still going on.
You are right that it doesn't feel professional because they might be interns and the official doctor is maybe outside or whatever.
There are many changes upcoming to hospitals in Morocco and future doctors are protesting.
If you have money and insurance, you will choose private hospitals as many people do here in Morocco. You could've done a quick live or posted a question on UA-cam to ask about a good private hospital in Rabat and there are many.
The ER in Morocco is mostly bad but some departments are better than others especially Souissi, so until you know the in and outs or the situation gets better, go for the private one.
Now you know the real morocco. No hospital no schools.everything public is corrupt in morocco unless you have money
You’re Iwrong for saying that! She just had a bad experience not a good doctor not the right place, so don’t speak for all our doctors in Morocco.
@@nadiabelaroussi548 fc*&k you and f&c*k all hospitals in morocco . Im so old and i know my whole life what is hospitals in morocco and you can ask any moroccan will tell you the same stop playing.stop covering the truth.everything in morocco is corrupt.

@@nadiabelaroussi548 he is right + there is a huge strike right now since weeks no one is working especially the young doctors from the med school who usually help a lot.
Hey Erin! I'm moroccan, born and raised. Lived my whole life in Morocco and moved to the US after high school. I studied medicine in the US. I have friends who became doctors in Morocco. When I compare my work conditions to theirs, it's horrible especially in the public field. Obviously there are many aspects to compare between the 2, but the US definitely has better quality which is far more important! As a physician, I care more about the quality of healthcare that my patients will get in most instances. Morocco is more affordable...yes, BUT even with certain private hospitals, the quality is still mediocre compared to the US. I can't generalize, but it is what it is! I'm glad your condition didn't get worse and you were able to get the help needed, but definitely go to other "well-known" private hospitals in the future! Healthcare in Morocco is currently undergoing many reforms so we're hoping for better days 😊
Rot in us. Good luck!
It sounds like the policy of paying upfront is in place to ensure that hospitals can cover their costs, especially since many people might struggle to pay their bills after receiving treatment. This approach can help manage financial risks for healthcare providers, but it can also be challenging for those who need immediate care but can't afford to pay upfront. It's a tough situation for sure.
Banan is a plural form, you can't just use Banana for singular. It's exactly the same
In the USA, health care is completely private. Yes, they help you out, but then the bill which inmost cases very expensive unless you have some coverage. Wil Smith made a movie about the health care situation in the US. Also, as is tourist in the US, you will need to pay upfront to get medical care. Now, Morocco has public hospitals that are for poor people who can't afford to go to private clinics. In your case, infected tooth, you should have gone first to a pharmacy to get some antibiotics for at least 3-4 days to get rid of the infection and (yes, Morocco has antibiotics at pharmacies without prescription. I know in US & Canada you need a Dr's prescription, not here).
Dentist or Emergency Hospital can't actually do anything for an infected tooth until the infection is gone. Be there done that
SO REMEMBER PHARMACISTS CAN REALLY HELP YOU BEFORE GOING TO DR OR HOSPITALS THEY KNOW A LOT TRUST ME.
If you have a serious situation then the most important thing is that someone from your family comes with you to sign the documents and confirm that they are going to pay and that's it and they do everything quickly for you in a private clinic.
I think the hospital was empty because of the current nationwide boycott by nurses and health technicians that has been going on for the last two months, give or take. However, the ER is supposed to be working fine.
Fine 😂😂😂 chmn fine Allah yhdyk
Please stop 😂
الزلايجية حشموا شوية
I totally agree with you 💯
Hey Erin, if you want good dentist you need to check in Casablanca there is one his last name Othmani or Otmani I don’t remember his name, he has big clinic in Casablanca one of the best in Morocco !!
Don’t you ever go to a public hospital in Morocco. All hospitals in the U.S are private. Private hospitals in Morocco’s are just as good and much cheaper than their counterparts in the USA. Good luck🙌
In you case you need to pay complete heath insurance.
Moroccan has universal basic health insurance cover like 75%
And they can pay extra complimentary insurance to cover 25%.
Thank you
depends they are some who are good, like the new one in rabat near the sea, but most are not and you need to go to a private one to get a real care but it's expensive
also right now there is a huge strike in the health field in morocco and tomorrow they are going to protest again
Erin> thanks for sharing your hospital experience.
I’m thinking of visiting Morocco in November.
You in Rabat?
Make sure you ask where the Dr or dentist got their diploma from... Or get a reference list from the embassy... Or join an expat group they know all the good doctors in Rabat and Casa
Hey I've been enjoying watching your all your videos of you and your amazing children
im a fan of your channel keep the content coming
Sorry you had to experience this in Morocco
I think if we all Stay healthy stay safe then hopefully no need for hospitals
I'm here to read Moroccan comments from Moroccans that always have an answer to paint a picture of Morocco is a better country than the US
You need to buy a private insurance in Morocco. Only the very poor and disadvantaged go to public hospitals because they have no choice. I could never willingly walk into one. It is a shame!!!
sadly this is true no one gonna argue about it (i am moroccan)
erin have u ever thought about what makes moroccans emigrate in large numbers? there are three things. i call them the three disasters (education, health, justice), especially education. just look at the world rankings and u will know why those who have little awareness emigrate. This is something systematically done by the state to make moroccans not know their rights, afraid of the police, afraid of those who have money. it's a jungle. there is a moroccan proverb that says those who don't know anything don't demand anything. And the state (The Makhzen) applies it literally. thank to "Poseidon" because I got out of the scary jungle.
I AGREE WITH YOU. TAKE CARE.
My dear I don’t know where you were living in America !! But in America they don’t accept you if you don’t have heath insurance which cost a lot of money , last week I went to the emergency in Charleston and I spent the whole day there, they let you wait for hours and hours, and I signed paper and provided my heath insurance card before processing my reports, I have seen people in bad situation and no body rush to serve them immediately because it was busy, have been to Saudi Arabia and is also the same, Erin you need to have health insurance and no body will ask you to pay in the emergency, please go to cheikh zaid hospital emergency and ask them how to get heath insurance and get your teeth done there. Good bless you
Welcome to real morocco .
Most Moroccans when they get sick they'd rather go to the pharmacy and buy medicine than go to a public hospital which is very sad
Is regular, non-surgical medical service 'affordable' in Private hospitals in Morocco - I'm looking to move to Morocco - Thanks and love your Channel
For me it’s better than the us
It’s interesting
You describe Moroccan hospitals much better than Moroccan
We need a woman like to run the country you are rock
To be very honest public hospitals in Morocco are for the lower class citizens. Middle class and above that can afford private so they do. Public hospitals are mainly free and paid for by the government and you don’t pay a lot for insurance so it’s just the most basic needs that are being covered, and sometimes even less than that so that’s why public hospitals aren’t great. Private isn’t really expensive and private hospitals are Amazing even better than in the us and Europe so please just go to the private hospitals from now on
Public hospitals in Morocco are known to have significant issues. There are discussions about potential privatization of these hospitals in the future. However, details on how this privatization will be implemented are not yet known.
Now that you bring this issue, I hope authorities will care since it comes from a resident who is not Moroccan.
I guarantee you it’s not your fault.
If you want like pediatricte like a kids hospital there is one called cheikh zayd which is located in the soissi area hospital 24 h working but it's private yo gotta pay for it
Thank you
That sucks however they would still take care of you and save you without being in debt however here in USA they do well taking care of you but the price that you have to pay after is insane.
I'm not sure about Rabat but in Casablanca there are state of the art dental clinics and they do great work. I live in spain and they charge on average 1200 euros per tooth for veneers , I got them done for 4000 dhs (400 euros) per tooth (12 in total) and they look so nice and natural. There was a huge difference in the price when I was done paying for everything. btw when they ask you if you are English or American, it is a legitimate question. They don't speak English very well, so they're not able to distinguish accents. Just like you won't be able to distinguish between Moroccan, Egyptian or lebanese accents.
Do u mind to tell the name of clinic or a good dentist, thanks in advance
And how much does it cost to observe your heart for example in Morocco?
The (private) health system is expensive but it is at the level of the best hospitals in Europe
I'm moroccan live in UK and I know very well Morocco.
Sister, is not good to be hill in Morocco. Hospitals are rubbish
Even what's left from the hospitals in Gaza is better than the public hospitals in Morocco. I'm talking with real experience unfortunately.
Hi, i have thought about this matter, in which why the moroccan healthcare is so bad; I came to the conclusion that is a matter of mindset of the Moroccans. No medical failure is chased and reported publicly to force and to improve the sector for the better. people in the health care should take responsibility to willing to improve oftherwise the ministery of healthcare should take actions. unfortunatly, the wealthy of the country also do not criticieze the sector, rather they fly to Europe for their healthcare. as such nothing changes for the moroccans with average income…. hope your vlog gives this subject more attension

In moroccan private hospitals, if you had a life or death situation they make you choose between paying a crazy amount of money or dying
it's free so somtimes you can finde nice peple nad good care somtimes not that much.. i wont lie to you i have never been to a public hostpitals only the one for the royal forces wich the closet to public i have been.. i go to doctor for anything i have a health insurence so i can have my money back .. so it's totally free from doctor visit to medication everything is paid back to me hamdolilah .. but even if it's totally free i feel sorry for those who have to suffer from that we need more humanity in the stuff that works in hospitals ...
It's true 👍 😔
God willing, conditions will change for the better. We do not compare Morocco with America.
Most doctors in morocco have no manners.A qualified moroccan doctors (7 years to qualify) can not practice in the UK. (Only 5 years to qualify).I went to A&E souissi Rabat,was shocked, left after 45 min. Took a plane next day to london . Once I went to a dentist in temara,he didnt have gloves!!!!! A toothache is far better than hepatitis c or aids. Dentist was qualified in UKRAINE !!
Unfortunately, you are starting to uncover or discover to your surprise some of the dark side of this special country ... Hope you d be convinced to decide what to do later in Morocco ...
Good luck on your journey within this beautiful country...
Still love it here much better than the us
This is one of the first points you learn in morocco not to go to public hospital. Also its not good to say " in Morocco" better to quote the City you live in because its not all over the same. Me for example we had the experience to pay in a hospital after we were there
True story 💯💯
Darling, yes the public hospitals are horrible but the new public hospitals are so good, the big hospital ibn sina is in building in rabat and the health care there will be so good and its free
To give a quick explanation, a doctor in Morocco needs to study for 19 years to complete his studies, and when they complete 19 years, they graduate and most of them go to Europe, especially France, because of the high salaries or to private hospitals, why? Because public hospitals don't pay them much, so most of the doctors working in public hospitals don't complete 19 years of education, they are called "stager" here (they are working and completing studies at same time this give them more exeprience ) , I encountered one of them in Casablanca when I was getting my teeth fixed, it was a horrible experience, the doctor removed 2 molars and then he started talking to his friend and left me with blood in my mouth. this is called Brain Drain with no wars here morocco is ranked 23 out of 177 countries in the index of human flight and brain drain yes the life is cheaper and private education is on higher level even public one is not bad but why wasting time working here when you can get paid in europe x10 and work less that it wich you understand the whole problem to fix this the country decided to remove one year of studies for them so they cannot fly out to europe bcs they have one year missing but they refused this and start protests against it lol
Hello Erin, I'm dentist but in Marrakech. I m so sorry for your bad expérience with dentist and with public hospital. First of all never go to public hospital, its a nightmare, second they are à lot of excellent dentist in Rabat, but you must ask, look for a good one and have a recomandation. If you need some advice please you can ask me what you need.
Would love a good dentist is Marrakech can you share your info
Chokran
Many people in my surroundings are unusually having teeth issues these days and I wonder why ? Is it a post covid and post jab symptoms ? And the dentists around the world can’t keep up with the number of patients visiting them for pain without true swollen gum
People drink sugary drinks, coffee and alcohol all day instead of water and you wonder why
Public hospitals in Morocco is a big NO
Public hospitals and public schools are areas that desperately need to improve. However, you always have the private option at an affordable price.
شكرا ليك أختي إيرين لقد غبتي كثرا
May be a private health insurance should be thought of. There is some good insurance companies who sell that. It's expansive but i think it's worth it...
Public hospitals in Morocco are nothing, crowdy all the time, everybody goes to private clinics or private doctors it’s much better
we should not compare Morocco and America in terms of health
You are right. I am Moroccan, emergency in public hospitals here are a joke and the health system in general not because we do not have good doctors or nurses but because the infrastructure the equipment i mean the staff can not really serve anyone without the equipments.. It is really frustrating but for you i think you can go to private hospitals and they are no where near the cost in America i know from UA-cam the prices are Ridiculously high. For the dentiste you should make sure your are in the cabinet of a dentiste doctor because there are also teeth professionnels or makers i do not know how to translate it to English exactly but these are not doctors and it is better to avoide them although they tend to charge cheaper
#morocco Health in a catastrophic situation😢
Rich Moroccans usually do their complex surgery abroad, usually France or Spain
the busy public hospital in morocco is in casablanca. people coming and going. people cleaning, eyckman. its called morisgo but dont expect bed side treatment but they take care of the business. they are rude and cranky though.
Absolutely right
If I understand, you went to a public hospital to fix a tooth. If so, usually Moroccans don't do that (probably very poor people go there). Dentist, go always private and way cheaper than in the west.
No not to fix tooth to fix infection
I miss when you give food to the cats 😢
The public hospitals in America are worst but peaple still want to complain about other countries
I actually have no complaints about the care I get in the us. Expensive care was 100%
Was easy to go to a clique or private doctor it s only less than 20 dollars
Where u were not a hospital or emergency hospital it’s like community hospital for some easy emergency like a scratch to get a needle … local they may get some medicine … it’s like paradmedic in America
سلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته مساء الخير أختي إيرين
Imagine how these Hospitals react on disasters like the earthquake or traffic accidents its horror on horror. Country ruled by backward rulers, they probably have a healthcare minister guess what he does to get payed!
