"The CMU is not there to degrade the care offers of civil servants", wanted to be reassuring Bamba Karim, Director General of the National Health Insurance Fund, in the face of the concerns of the member organizations of the Alliance des Mutuelles Sociales. from Ivory Coast.
Speaking on Monday, February 18 at the awareness and training workshop for social mutuals on Universal Health Coverage, Bamba Karim, maintains that with "Universal Health Coverage, the civil servant is entitled to a basket of care, unlike the offer of reimbursable drugs offered to him. It's all to his advantage."
This awareness-raising and training workshop for social mutuals aims to raise awareness and mobilize all players in the mutualist movement on the process of implementing Universal Health Coverage. And allow mutualist delegates to learn about the legislative, institutional, technical and financial system of the CMU.
The enlistment process, the terms of payment of contributions, the baskets and the healthcare and drug network are some of the topics discussed with a fine-tooth comb during these three days of discussions.
"After this seminar, we will meet the structures made up of mutuals and cooperatives to raise their awareness, praise the merits of the CMU to the populations, and behind it raise their concerns to the government", says Mahi Clarisse, President of the Board of Directors. of the Alliance of Social Mutuals of Côte d'Ivoire.
