In its drive towards universal health coverage, the Republic of Mali has set up a system of protection against the risk of illness, comprising three mechanisms: Compulsory Health Insurance (AMO), the Medical Assistance Scheme (RAMED) and mutual health insurance. In addition to these schemes, we also offer free and/or subsidized healthcare for vulnerable groups.
Initiated in 2009, RAMED is one of the Malian government’s solutions to the problem of exclusion of a segment of the population from access to health care and services. The results of the RAMED evaluation provide an opportunity to assess the State’s efforts to ensure equity in healthcare, and to consider ways of improving the mechanism’s performance.
This document is the final evaluation report on the implementation of RAMED in Mali.
