Telemedicine in Morocco is governed by law 131-13 of September 19, 2014 on the practice of medicine, supplemented by implementing regulations published in 2022. For MRE, this development allows consulting a Moroccan doctor for a relative remaining in Morocco, without requiring physical travel. In 2026, Dabadoc and Vezeeta platforms are the main active ones in Morocco.

Timeline
Legal framework for telemedicine in Morocco
Law 131-13 authorizes telemedicine acts under conditions: the doctor must be registered with the National Council of the Order of Physicians of Morocco (CNOM), the consultation must comply with usual ethical rules, and a medical report must be established. Decree 2-22-247 of 2022 specifies the technical and medical data security modalities.
💡 Tip — Verify the consulted doctor is registered with the CNOM before any teleconsultation. The register is consultable on medecin.ma.
⚠️ Warning — Telemedicine in Morocco does not replace a physical consultation for emergencies or acts requiring clinical examination.
Active platforms: Dabadoc and Vezeeta
Dabadoc (dabadoc.com) is the leading platform in Morocco with more than 5000 doctors in 200 cities. It offers in-person appointment booking and video teleconsultation. Vezeeta (vezeeta.com) is a regional platform with about 1000 Moroccan doctors. Both platforms allow video consultation, medical chat and electronic prescription.
💡 Tip — Dabadoc offers a filter by specialty and city to find a doctor near your relative's home in Morocco.
Organizing a video consultation from abroad
An MRE can organize a teleconsultation for their relative in Morocco in two ways: either the relative consults alone from Morocco via smartphone, or the MRE participates from abroad as a third party (with the doctor's agreement). Only a stable internet connection (4G is sufficient), a smartphone or tablet, and an account on the chosen platform are needed.
💡 Tip — Some Dabadoc doctors speak darija (Moroccan Arabic), French and sometimes Dutch or Spanish.
Electronic prescription and validity
Following a teleconsultation, the doctor can issue an electronic prescription (electronically signed PDF) valid in Moroccan pharmacies partnered with the platform. In 2026, electronic prescriptions via Dabadoc are accepted in more than 500 partner pharmacies. Electronic prescriptions are valid for 3 months in Morocco.
💡 Tip — Ask the doctor to send the prescription by email in addition to the PDF on the platform.
⚠️ Warning — Class I medications (psychotropics, narcotics) mandatorily require a secure paper prescription.
Rates and available specialties
Teleconsultation rates vary by specialty: general practitioner 150-250 MAD, specialist (cardiologist, dermatologist, psychiatrist) 300-500 MAD, pediatrician 200-350 MAD. Most available specialties in telemedicine: dermatology, psychiatry/psychology, general pediatrics, endocrinology, chronic disease monitoring.
💡 Tip — Telemedicine is particularly suitable for monitoring chronic diseases: diabetes/hypertension prescription renewal, treatment adjustment, biological analysis results.
In depth
Telemedicine in Morocco accelerated significantly during the Covid-19 period (2020-2021), leading to the accelerated publication of the implementing decree of law 131-13 in 2022. In 2026, the Moroccan Ministry of Health is working on a national telemedicine reference framework (RNT) that should standardize practices and eventually allow reimbursement of teleconsultations via AMO. For MRE in Europe, Moroccan telemedicine opens a concrete possibility of remote medical monitoring for elderly parents in Morocco - organizing a consultation, receiving an electronic prescription and paying online, all without intermediary.
❌ Common mistakes to avoid
- ✕Thinking any video conferencing app (WhatsApp, Zoom) constitutes a legal teleconsultation: must use an approved platform
- ✕Attempting to obtain a prescription for narcotic medications via teleconsultation: illegal and refused by all serious doctors
- ✕Not verifying the doctor's CNOM registration before consultation
