CHALLENGES
Lack of computerization system and internet access of CBHI sections for good reporting system
Lack of facilities( offices, electricity, …) for some CBHI Sections.
Some case of fraud by persons not yet covered by any medical insurance scheme;
Misanderstanding on CBHI scheme for some individuals
PERSPECTIVE OF COMING YEARS Magnetic cards; Computerization of all sections; CBHI infrastructure.
conclusion The objectives of the development policy of
CBHI are clearly defined and well shared. They strongly reflect the ambition of the Rwandan government to promote the accessibility of quality health care to all Rwandans, particularly the most destitute.
This determination is shown by the implication of local authorities in the improvement of the coverage by CBHI and the involvement of development partners in the development of CBHI. The challenges are certainly numerous, but the adherence and participation of Rwandans in the development of this policy will favor its success.
