Abstract

Background: No specific evaluation of palliative care (PC) has been carried out to date despite its effective integration into Moroccan healthcare strategy.

Aims: To analyse the evolution of PC-related research in Morocco over the last two decades.

Methods: In this study, articles indexed in Web Of Science and PubMED that include the words Morocco and palliative, in their content, in French and English, with at least one author affiliated to a Moroccan institution and published between 2000 and 2020, were evaluated with bibliometrics methods to determine a timeline, a mapping of publications and collaborations, and the main journals, types and topics of publications.

Findings: A total of 87.1% of articles have been published since 2011. Some 82.1% concern oncology. A total of 48.5% were produced within the same institution and international collaboration represents only 9.9% of the articles.

Conclusion: The number of PC related articles have increased since 2011, especially in regions with a greater supply of oncology care.

Keywords: Morocco; cancer; end of life; health strategy; palliative care.
