The Moroccan Society of Economics for Medicinal Products (SMEPS) organised the 6th National Congress for Pharmacoeconomics and Pharmacoepidemiology. The distinctive venue was the Mohammed VI Foundation for the Promotion of Social Works in Education-Training in Rabat, Morocco.
Endorsed by the Ministry of Health, the congress was a platform for national, regional and international exchange of knowledge and experience in funding health care. This meeting aimed to empower Morocco to find out what coverage system is adapted to its needs.

Background
Surprisingly, an invitation to present in my hometown Rabat reached me! Although busy with other priorities, I decided to give this high-level Moroccan Congress a chance. In total I spent less than 24 hours there but enjoyed very much the agenda and the people. The postgraduate Master of Science at Charité Berlin prepared me well to strenghtening health care systems. In addition, my comprehensive experience at the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) in Germany exactly during the implementation start of the game changer AMNOG, is an asset. Finally, the fact that the title of the congress comprises ‘Future Health’ is truly motivating.
