Abstract: The reform of the Moroccan healthcare system, supported by the creation of Territorial Health Groups (THGs), aims to strengthen governance, develop human resources, improve healthcare service delivery, and advance digital transformation. The Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceïma region, as a pilot area, provides a privileged ground for observing the initial effects of this reform on human resources management. Based on a qualitative exploratory approach and semi-structured interviews with institutional stakeholders and healthcare professionals, this study examines ongoing organizational changes, HR innovations, and the challenges faced. The results reveal a drive for adaptation and innovation (digitalization, mobility, inter-institutional coordination), while also highlighting structural constraints (statutory rigidity, skill shortages, resistance to change). The article concludes by discussing the key success factors for agile and attractive local HRM to support the dynamics of the THGs.
