Ethio-Agriceft, Agriflower Holeta has taken a bold step towards engaging in community-based health insurance program. With a view to creating awareness, company senior executives have contributed their first membership fees and called on the rest employees to follow through and become CBHI scheme beneficiary.
In Ethiopia, the CBHI initiative was set up as a community based health project that gathers payments made by members to cover basic health care costs at local health care centers whenever any member of the group is sick.
The program was launched in Ethiopia since 2011 and it has been implemented at various governmental, non-governmental and communities levels until now.
