Background\nHealth insurance is typically regarded as a means to allow financial risk protection and allow the low-income family to have access to health care. There are several types of health insurance that help to prevent the tragic medical events and commonly related to out of pocket expenditure. These insurance schemes help the government to finance health care\, improve access to health care services and promote universal health coverage. Despite the several private health insurance schemes in Cameroon\, solely 36.1% have access to the health center. How can private health insurance operators effectively finance health care in Cameroon to cover a large proportion of the population? What are some of the challenges faced by these operators?

Expected outcomes\n– Increased awareness of the contributions and challenges faced by private health insurance operators in Cameroon.\n– A consensus on the urgent need to improve the contribution of private health insurance to the financing of health care in Cameroon is made.\n.fusion-button.button-2 {border-radius:0px;}.fusion-button.button-2 .fusion-button-text {text-transform:none;}REGISTER NOW.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-4{width:100% !important;margin-top : 10px;margin-bottom : 10px;}.fusion-builder-column-4 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-4{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-4 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-4{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-4 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-5{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}
