    Description
    SOCIEUX+ has been solicited by the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs of the Province of Kongo Central to formulate a feasibility study regarding the establishment of a compulsory or voluntary health insurance mechanism in the Province. To this end, SOCIEUX+ facilitated exchanges (on site and on-line) between the national partners (including mutualist organizations) and European experts in the field of health systems (financing, governance and health care delivery). Several experts from France delivered an inventory of the health system’s components in place in the province of Kongo Central, then a study on the financial feasibility of the health insurance system, and a prospective study on how such a health insurance system should be governed and organized.
