Morocco Diabetes Analysis

• Population and Income Group: Total population is 34,378,000, classified as lower middle-income.
• Diabetes Mortality: High death rates from diabetes and high blood glucose across ages 30–69 and 70+; higher burdens for females in some groups.
• Mortality Trends: Non-communicable diseases are a major cause of death, with diabetes contributing significantly, alongside cardiovascular and other NCDs.
• Diabetes Prevalence: Overall prevalence is 12.4%; key risk factors include high overweight (55.1%) and obesity rates (21.7%).
• National Response: Diabetes policy is operationalized, guidelines are available and fully implemented; however, no policies for reducing overweight, obesity, or physical inactivity exist. A diabetes registry is absent, and national risk factor surveys are not conducted. In the public health sector, some medicines (e.g., insulin, metformin) and technologies (e.g., blood glucose measurement, retinal photocoagulation) are generally available, but others (e.g., renal replacement therapy) are not widely accessible.
