Le gouvernement de Madagascar s'est engagé à atteindre la couverture sanitaire universelle (CSU) à travers la mise en œuvre de la Stratégie nationale de financement de la santé de 2015. Cette stratégie prévoit d'accroître le financement national de la santé et de la protection financière des usagers des soins de santé. En mai 2022, le gouvernement a annoncé son intention de promouvoir le développement de l'assurance maladie de proximité (CBHI).
Pour répondre à cette nouvelle politique, l'Unité d'appui à la CSU, rattachée au Secrétariat général du ministère de la Santé publique, a initié un processus participatif de conceptualisation et de mise en œuvre d'un modèle de CBHI. Cette note technique présente des options pour la conception et la mise en œuvre de la phase de démonstration de CBHI prévue dans le district de Fénérive Est, en tenant compte des enseignements tirés des résultats de l'étude de faisabilité CBHI à Madagascar et des expériences que les pays d'Afrique subsaharienne, en particulier le Sénégal, ont eues avec CBHI. Cette note complète d'autres notes techniques que la LHSS a élaborées pour l'Unité d'appui à la CSU afin d'éclairer le processus d'établissement de la CBHI à Madagascar, notamment la Note technique sur le modèle de CBHI à Madagascar (LHSS 2022).
