Lalani et al explores how integrated care systems (ICSs) in England are redefining quality management through collaboration, co-production, and a focus on population health. This commentary examines the relevance of these principles for Morocco, where universal health coverage (UHC), the expansion of social protection, and Territorial Health Groups (GSTs, Groupements Sanitaire Territoriaux) aim to improve care coordination and reduce health inequalities. ICS-inspired strategies could strengthen Moroccan reforms by promoting decentralized governance, community engagement, and co-production, with GSTs serving as regional coordination platforms. However, financial constraints, centralized institutions, and political pressures to prioritize visible outcomes require local adaptation. Strengthening regional quality committees, addressing social determinants, and empowering community health workers (CHWs) could help align Morocco’s reforms with ICS principles.
