Background<br \/>\nUnequal access to quality healthcare in Cameroon has been a challenge since the beginning of time and can be greatly attributed to the high level of poverty and an unequal distribution of wealth in the country. With a population of over 26 million in 2021, over 55% of Cameroonians live in poverty, typically concentrated in rural parts of the North and Eastern region. Insurance within any domain provides financial protection for an individual against unforeseen events. With various Health insurance schemes available in the country, set to help the government improve the wellbeing and comfort of its citizens, a majority of families across the nation, are not subscribed. What measures can be taken to improve subscription of health insurance schemes in Cameroon? What role has the government played in reducing the financial burden of out-of-pocket-spending experienced by Cameroonians? These questions, are amongst a few the Health Policy and Research Division of the Nkafu Policy Institute seeks to answer in this webinar.<br \/>\n2.
