The scheme offers flexible payment options and covers preventive, curative, and hospital care for contributors and up to six dependents. Access requires a 90-day waiting period and partial coverage for lab tests and essential medicines is included. Benefits suspend after two months of non-payment to ensure sustainability. A new digital platform facilitates easy registration, payments, and management online, aimed at increasing financial inclusion and administrative efficiency within the informal economy. This reform aligns with the government\u2019s commitment to universal social protection as a leverage for sustainable development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;TO BE EDITED &#8211; TEXT OF THE NEWS &#8211; BLOCK 2 &#8211; Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.
