The Integration of Traditional Medicine within Contemporary Moroccan Healthcare Systems: A Survey Research
Abstract
Traditional medicine plays a significant role in healthcare systems across Africa, including Morocco. However, its integration within contemporary healthcare frameworks remains understudied.

The survey revealed that approximately 65% of respondents reported using traditional medicine alongside modern healthcare. However, only 20% believed in the efficacy of traditional remedies.
