Togo: National Health Insurance Institute provides health insurance to artisans

(Togo First) - Togolese artisans now have access to health insurance. The mechanism put in place by the National Health Insurance Institute (INAM) and the ministries of health and social protection was launched May 14, at the Palais de congrès de Lomé.

According to the ministry of craftsmanship, the measure falls under axis 3 of the PND. In the next three years, more than 100,000 artisans should in its framework have an insurance covering non-professional health issues.

Social protection for artisans falls under a process aimed at gradually covering all social layers in the country, after public administration,” said Victoire Tomegah Dogbé, minister of craftsmanship and youth.

Craftsmanship has for some years now been recording a rapid growth in Togo. In 2017, it represented 18% of the GDP, helping reduce trade balance by 20%, and employing more than a million people.
