A lawyer with controversial opinions, particularly on vaccines and public health, Kennedy Jr. is known for his vaccine-skeptical positions and for relaying conspiracy theories, going so far as to assert that Covid was invented and that tap water could cause sexual transformations.
This anti-scientific vision could prove destabilizing for the United States’ scientific and medical relations with other nations, while indirectly offering prospects for countries like Morocco seeking to position themselves in the globalized health sector.
Historically, exchanges between the Moroccan and American health systems have existed, although little marked by official visits by American health ministers to Morocco.
A structured rapprochement with the United States, inspired by innovations in their health system, could however bring significant advantages.
Indeed, Morocco could benefit by further integrating good American practices, particularly in the areas of medical research, hospital management, and training of health professionals.
The American health care system, despite its complexities and high costs, is one of the most advanced in terms of research, technology, and cutting-edge medicine.
Drawing inspiration from it would allow Morocco to modernize its infrastructure, improve the skills of its doctors and introduce innovative approaches in personalized and digital medicine.
Furthermore, increased collaboration in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields could offer new economic and medical opportunities.
Due to the appointment of Kennedy Jr., France also sees a chance to capture American talent in research and health, especially since the new minister’s anti-vaccine and conspiracy speeches risk creating a climate of distrust in the country. within American scientific circles.
Morocco, although on a different scale, could also benefit from this potential exodus of talent, by banking on targeted partnerships.
In short, the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. constitutes a challenge and an opportunity for countries that aspire to revitalize their health systems.
For Morocco, an active cooperation strategy could strengthen its health sector, accelerate medical innovation and allow it to get closer to international standards.
This situation highlights the importance of a proactive and internationally oriented Moroccan health policy, to capture what could be a period of redefinition of global health relations.
