Rabat- Moroccans who lived and worked in Belgium and are now considering retiring in Morocco can still receive health benefits from the Belgian state, Telquel reported.
Thanks to a Belgian-Moroccan agreement that was signed last year, Moroccans and Belgians of Moroccan origins can still enjoy their health benefits from the Belgian social security upon arrival in Morocco either for retirement or to start a new career.
Moroccans who had initially feared retiring in Morocco because of the lack of social protection and health coverage can now change their opinion. The agreement will encourage more Moroccans living in Belgium to return home and invest in the country.
The agreement will also see the Belgian state reimbursing Moroccans with less expensive health benefits in comparison to what it would normally pay if they still live in Belgium.
According to the Belgian Ministry of Social Affairs and Public Health, about 5,500 people residing in Morocco are receiving health benefits from the Belgian state.
