Medical Device Companies in Morocco

How medical devices reach hospitals in Morocco

Public procurement follows two tracks. The Ministry of Health and Social Protection runs national tenders for equipment programmes across regional and provincial hospitals, often financed by the state budget or development partners, while each Centre Hospitalier Universitaire in Casablanca, Rabat, Fès, Marrakech, Oujda and the newer cities procures much of its own capital equipment under its autonomous status. New-build CHUs are frequently equipped as turnkey packages within construction contracts, so manufacturers compete to be specified by contractors and project consultants. A foreign manufacturer registers devices with AMMPS through a licensed Moroccan distributor, which imports via Casablanca or Tanger Med, bids tenders, installs and holds the maintenance contract; multinationals such as Siemens Healthineers, GE HealthCare, Philips, Medtronic and Roche run Casablanca subsidiaries that tender directly for major systems and manage service, using distributors for consumables and provincial reach. The private channel has grown quickly: Akdital, listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange, operates dozens of clinics and buys centrally at premium specifications, Oncorad runs radiology and oncology centres, and independent clinics in Casablanca, Rabat and Marrakech add volume. Generalised health insurance under AMO Tadamon is expanding demand for diagnostics and dialysis across both channels. Promamec manufactures disposables locally and distributes imported equipment, and the government’s industrial strategy is courting device assembly in Tanger Med and Casablanca free zones.
