Ivory Coast is one of a handful countries in West Africa that offers an universal health coverage programme for its citizens, but less than half the population has enrolled in the first five years. The universal health coverage, known locally by its French acronym CMU, is meant to cover 70% of people's healthcare costs for 1,000 West African CFA francs ($1.65). The mobile enrolment centres sign up individuals and families and print cards onsite, so recipients can start receiving care immediately at hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies nationwide.
