Morocco's approach to developing palliative care is notably constrained, with an almost complete scarcity of laws and regulations in this area. Despite some progress, palliative care remains fragmented and underdeveloped, with persistent disparities in its accessibility and provision. Nationally, there is a lack of sufficient and detailed information about its progress. This paper aims to fill this gap by offering an overview of the history, infrastructure, education, and legislation framework surrounding palliative care in the country. Significant strides have been made since its implementation, but challenges persist, including the need for a comprehensive legislation framework, more trained professionals, and expanded services beyond oncology to other chronic diseases. Strengthening infrastructure and policies is essential to meet the growing needs of Morocco's population.
