While in Morocco, our group had the opportunity to hear a presentation about the healthcare system in Morocco. We learned about both the private and public sectors of healthcare there and heard some concerning statistics regarding the delivery system there. They lack funding to hire enough providers and the ratio of providers to patients is almost half the World health Organization recommendation. To attempt to supplement the lack of providers and centers, they have adopted a traveling clinic approach. Our group had the opportunity to attend and participate in a rural health clinic while there. There we spent time taking vital signs and working in the triage tent to help patients get ready to see providers in various specialties. We also got a tour of the clinic and saw the wide variety of providers that were available to patients who traveled to this clinic. It was an exciting opportunity to see healthcare delivered in a way we don't really see here in America. Opportunities like this allow students like me to learn so much about adaptability in healthcare and give us new ideas to help reach underserved populations.
