Gynecological and Obstetrical Medical Care - Morocco
Not only do women need general medical care, but also reproductive health care and access to a gynecologist or obstetrician for specialized care. Survey respondents were asked if they have ever visited a gynecologist or obstetrician.
- Figure 16 shows that the majority of Moroccan women (52%) have never visited a gynecologist or obstetrician and slightly more than two in ten women (22%) visit only when pregnant.
- Only 6% of Moroccan women go to a gynecologist or obstetrician at least once every two years.
- Women with higher incomes visit gynecologists more frequently than do lower income women (Figure 17).
- Upper-income women are more than ten times as likely as low-income women to visit a gynecologist or obstetrician at least once every two years. Fewer upper-income women (37%) report having never visited a gynecologist or obstetrician compared to upper-middle-, lower-middle- and low-income women (43%, 60% and 62%, respectively).
