”For the informal sector, despite the increase in channels through which Universal Health Coverage contributions can be paid, the level of contribution collection remains very low.” Koné Karidja, Director of Affiliation / Caisse Nationale d’Assurance Maladie (CNAM).
Speaking to journalists, Ms KONE also took stock of the situation: only 38,653 of the 781,204 insured have their CMU cards. These difficulties are essentially linked to the drop in enrolment figures; the delay in making insured cards available; the low level of collection of employee contributions; the failure to replenish the contributor accounts of employees who have had their contributions deducted; the low level of payment of contributions by people in the informal sector; and the lack of knowledge about how to use the cards.
In terms of contribution collection, the Caisse Nationale d’Assurance Maladie (CNAM) intends to step up its communication strategy on the e-CNPS and e-CMU contribution payment platforms, as well as implementing the decrees issued to define contribution collection procedures for the agricultural sector.
