CHAD
Achieving UHC in Chad is a major challenge. The country is not only one of the poorest in the world, more than 75% of its population lives in rural areas, making it difficult for them to access health services.
Despite the development of innovative sources of financing for UHC in Chad’s finance laws since 2020, resources that have been planned and collected have never been transferred to the bodies governing and administering UHC, including the National Health Insurance Fund (CNAS).
As a result, the start of UHC schemes has been postponed several times for lack of funding. Resolution of this problem depends on the removal of all bottlenecks, and the application of appropriate national rules and practices in the management of public health finances.

Objectives
Mobilize resources for the National Health Insurance Fund
The aim was to increase the resources from dedicated taxes for the National Health Insurance Fund (CNAS) by 1.5 billion CFA francs.
Steps to achieve this goal have included: setting up an Inter-ministerial Technical Committee to draft texts for mechanisms for transferring funds to the CNAS; and holding high-level advocacy meetings with the Ministers in charge of health, finance and public services.
