La proactivité dans l'adversité : L'action de la mutualité en appui des gouvernements dans la lutte contre la Covid-19

The impact of Covid-19 on the African continent has been and remains one of the major concerns regarding the consequences of the pandemic. However, far from remaining passive, mutual health insurance companies have been implementing a series of actions since the spring of 2020 to raise awareness, support the population and support their governments’ actions. These actions capitalized on the strengths of mutual insurances: local deployment among communities and socio-professional categories, but also among mutualists and health center staff. The action of the mutual insurances with the populations has made it possible to take stock of their qualities, which will be important in the context of a balanced exit from the coming socio-economic crisis, the real challenge facing Africa.
