Ivory Coast health authorities have launched mobile enrollment centers for the country’s universal health coverage program.

Residents line up in front of a mobile enrolment center from the Ivory Coast health authorities in Abidjan Monday, June 10, 2024. The country's universal health coverage program, has been criticized since its inception in 2019 for an inefficient voucher system that has made it impossible for participants to access the benefits.

Resident Bruno Agnissan already has a CMU card, but he came to an Abidjan mobile enrollment center in search of information about how to successfully use it. “When we went to the pharmacy and I presented the voucher, the pharmacy said that no, this is only for civil servants, that it won’t work for us individuals,” Agnissan said."I went to all the pharmacies, and it didn’t work.”Samuel Touffet, another local resident who came to the mobile center to get updated on coverage under the program, echoed Agnissan’s concerns.
