According to the statistics, total CMU benefits amounted to 539,989,823 FCFA, broken down into 43% for care and 57% for medicines, mainly under the civil servants’ mutual insurance scheme. For a patient population of 140,974 in a care network comprising 09 university hospitals & specialized institutes, 125 hospital health establishments (CHR/HG), 770 first-contact health establishments (ESPC).
Out of a target of 1,067,761 economically disadvantaged people, 18% have been enrolled, around 85% are in possession of their insurance card.
