Universal Health Insurance Scheme: Empowering Health Workers in Kaya

Kaya (AIB) – The Center-North Community Health Promotion and Development Association (APSCCD / CN) recently ⁣organized a communication and visibility meeting on the Universal Health Insurance Scheme.⁣ The event took place on September 6, 2024, in Kaya (RAMU), with the aim of​ promoting the health‍ and well-being of health workers in the Kaya health area.

This meeting‍ was part of the community monitoring project, which seeks⁢ to improve access ⁢to health services, health ‌insurance, and social‌ protection for vulnerable groups​ and⁤ internally‍ displaced people in Burkina Faso.

The primary objective⁢ of this communication meeting was to enhance the professional capacities of ‍health workers, enabling them to provide better services ⁣to the community. The discussions centered around the presentation of ‌the project, offering‍ participants a deeper understanding of the RAMU and its operations.
