"I'm a taxi driver. My household has been a member of the Tchamba mutual health insurance since its creation in 2012 because the mutual health insurance saves a lot of lives here in Affem-Boussou and we are witnesses to that. When I am travelling for work, I do not worry about my family's health. From 2020, I too will be able to get treatment in all the health centres in the localities of the Central Region because we have just been informed that the care package has been harmonised this year for all the 5 mutual insurance companies that are members of the Union."
