The UHC General Directorate invited CICODEV to a regional tour on the state of implementation of the UHC program in the regions of Kaolack, Kaffrine and Fatick between February 22 and 26, 2021.
The tour is aimed at assessing the state of implementation of the UHC program at the operational level, in relation to the actors. It is an opportunity to share experiences on Endogenous Health Financing Mechanisms (EHFM), through group memberships in mutual health organizations. It is also an opportunity to share the health insurance model at the departmental level, through a visit to the Departmental Health Insurance Unit (UDAM) of Foundiougne and to exchange with the actors on the process of setting up the UDAMs in Fatick and Gossas.
The authorities recognize CICODEV as an important actor who has made a significant contribution to Universal Health Coverage through its strategy of bringing together endogenous health financing mechanisms with community health insurance organizations designated by the authorities as the mechanism by which the population can be enrolled in Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
In addition to CICODEV, Lux Dev also participated in this tour.
