Leading Private Healthcare Group Akdital Expands Presence in Morocco
Groupe Akdital, a private clinic company, has opened 12 new healthcare facilities in Morocco in the last year, nearly tripling its total establishments across the country.
The group currently has locations in Khouribga, Marrakech, Essaouira, Tetouan, Errachidia, Taroudant, Dakhla, Kenitra, Benguerir and Meknes, with over 3,500 doctors and 3,700 hospital beds, according to Akdital's presentation of 2024 results. Throughout last year, the group admitted over 670,000 patient cases and recorded a 96.7% patient satisfaction rate.
Urban populations tend to have more access to care in Morocco, says a recent study by the United States National Institute of Health, noting that Morocco's primary healthcare challenge is to address disparities between urban and rural areas. This disparity especially affects the quality of equipment, infrastructure and specialist care available to Moroccans.
After publishing its 2024 annual results, Akdital also shared its plan for 2025-2030 which includes advancing its quality and practice to curb this issue especially in less urban areas.
Akdital's overall goal is to 'consolidate [its] position as a benchmark in Morocco by providing access to quality healthcare to all Moroccans, in a responsible and sustainable manner, while initiating [its] international influence,' says the document.
Akdital's Expansion Plan
By 2027, Akdital plans to have 62 establishments and over 6000 hospital beds in 32 different cities in Morocco. For each Akdital hospital, the group will identify 4 to 5 small towns within a radius of 100 km to open an Akdital diagnostic center.
Rural populations often face difficulties in obtaining timely diagnoses and treatments, leading to delays in care that can worsen health outcomes. This gap is exacerbated by the concentration of healthcare professionals in cities, leaving smaller towns and villages with limited access to skilled medical personnel.
Akdital's goal is to open 200 of these diagnostic centers by 2030, providing a new way of bringing medical diagnoses closer to populations who live far from urban centers. This initiative will strengthen Akdital's regional services and provide medical support to underserved communities.
To further enhance its medical services in Morocco, Akdital has embraced technological innovation and modernized its operations. This includes digitizing medical records and introducing state-of-the-art surgical robotics to enable more precise, less invasive procedures.
Akdital is also prioritizing its operational efficiency with a strong focus on improving the patient experience. Efforts include maintaining high standards of quality and hygiene and placing the patient at the center of care. The group is implementing patient satisfaction surveys, qualitative monitoring, and a patient-centered approach to medicine.
Lastly, the group has laid out plans to strengthen its community impact. This includes reducing energy consumption, minimizing its carbon footprint, and improving the management of medical waste. Through the Akdital Foundation, the group also provides healthcare access to vulnerable populations and supports local socio-economic initiatives.

Akdital is further strengthening its workforce through the launch of the Akdital Academy, which will provide professional development programs in both paramedical and administrative fields. Additionally, the group is enhancing its human resources services and introducing new employee incentives aimed at boosting performance and productivity.
Akdital's next step involves its international expansion into the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia between 2025 and 2030. The group has notably outlined plans to open two establishments in Dubai and another Emirate and two in Riyadh and Jeddah.
As Akdital continues to expand within Morocco and abroad, its investments in infrastructure, personnel training, and digital innovation signal a broader strategy to position itself as a competitive healthcare provider in both regional and international markets.
With its sights set on the Gulf region, the group's upcoming projects in the UAE and Saudi Arabia mark the beginning of a new phase that could extend its healthcare model beyond Moroccan borders.
