The Mohammed VI Foundation for Science and Health (FM6SS) has appointed Professor Ahmed Bennana as its new Deputy Director, marking a leadership transition following the appointment of Professor Youns Bjijou as Morocco’s Minister of Health and Social Protection.
Bennana takes over a position previously held by Bjijou, who had been leading the Foundation’s activities since July 2023. His appointment fills the vacancy created by the latest government reshuffle.
The new Deputy Director brings extensive experience within the Foundation’s hospital and academic network. Before his appointment, he held several senior management positions, particularly at the Mohammed VI International University Hospital in Bouskoura.
He subsequently moved to Rabat, where he served as General Director of the Foundation’s Rabat campus and the Mohammed VI International University Hospital. His responsibilities included overseeing hospital operations, developing healthcare infrastructure and promoting the integration of medical technologies.
His appointment comes as FM6SS continues to expand its role in Morocco’s healthcare sector. The Foundation is pursuing investments in hospital infrastructure, medical education, professional training and scientific research.
By appointing a senior executive from within its own organisation, FM6SS is opting for continuity at a time when its healthcare and academic activities are growing. Bennana’s experience across several of its hospital facilities is expected to support the Foundation’s ongoing development and operational priorities.
