Universal Health Insurance: Togolese authorities set up a committee to regulate the project

(Togo First) - The Togolese government has set up a committee to regulate its Universal Health Insurance (AMU) scheme. This was disclosed during the council of ministers held on August 3, 2022. 

The committee, according to the council, will provide the necessary guidance, ensure financial balance, and help make the insurance system sustainable. It should also “strengthen the governance framework of this insurance”, in line with the first axis of the government’s 2020-2025 roadmap which aims to boost social inclusion and harmony in Togo. 

The council, on Wednesday, assessed and passed a draft decree that defines the mission, composition, organization, and functioning of the new committee. 

The AMU is managed by the National Health Insurance Institute (INAM). Overall, the project aims to guarantee access to quality health for all Togolese.  It is based on a risk pooling and solidarity financing mechanism.
