The project aims to set up a pilot experiment for the deployment of the mandatory health insurance information system in Senegal.

In Senegal, the Government aims to establish universal health coverage. This initiative involves major issues in terms of coordination and synergy between the various existing schemes, in particular between mandatory health insurance and universal health coverage.

With financing from the Sahel Health Solidarity Initiative (I3S) managed by Agence Française de Développement (AFD) on behalf of the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, this project aims to assist the Institution for the Coordination of Mandatory Health Insurance (ICAMO) of Senegal with the operational management of a pilot experiment for the deployment of the mandatory health insurance information system (SIAMO) in about a dozen health insurance institutions. This project follows on from the support provided to the Senegalese Ministry of Labour, Social Dialogue, Professional Organisations and Relations with Institutions by French public operators.

This project set up residential technical assistance at ICAMO on 16 November 2020. It will be strengthened by ad hoc expertise.
