Democratic Republic of the Congo: Consultant Assurance-Maladie Obligatoire

0
0
Organization: Oxfam Novib
Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo
Closing date: 29 Feb 2016

Termes de référence de la mission court-terme pour la conception d’un système d’Assurance Maladie Obligatoire contextualisé dans la province du Nord Kivu, RD Congo.

Mission CT dans le cadre du projet DGD 2014-2016

1.Introduction :

Dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre du Programme ULB Coopération 2014-2016, Oxfam, partenaire dudit programme, a pour rôle d’apporter un appui technique pour le développement des activités de renforcement du système de santé,dont la visée est d’améliorer l’accès des populations des soins de santé de qualité.

Les résultats issus de l’enquête des Comptes Nationaux de la santé réalisés en 2008 et 2009 concernant l’offre des services de santé renseignent que la part de la communauté dans les dépenses globales en santé représente 42%, celle des partenaires internationaux de santé 36%, celle du Gouvernement 12% et celle des entreprises 10%. D'après ces résultats, la charge du financement de la santé est essentiellement portée par la communauté qui au départ est pauvre dans sa grande majorité. Le Ministère de la Santé Publique est conscient que le mode de paiement direct appliqué en général dans nos services de santé pose énormément de problèmes à la population et contribue à accentuer son état de pauvreté.

Sur ce, le Ministère de la Santé Publique a initié la réforme du financement de la santé afin de parvenir à une diminution des dépenses irrationnelles, à une meilleure coordination des appuis en promouvant la synergie des interventions dans le but de parvenir progressivement à la couverture santé universelle (CSU). La réforme hospitalière et le projet de loi sur la Couverture santé Universelle s’inscrivent dans ce processus.

Pour répondre à cette urgence, la mise en place du système d’Assurance Maladie Obligatoire (AMO) est un des leviers prioritaires pour atteindre dans la progressivité la CSU aux fins d'améliorer l’accès de tous aux soins de santé et assurer aux populations de la RDC une protection sociale.

Les autorités sanitaires de la province du Nord Kivu sont intéressées à faire avancer l'Agenda du système d'assurance maladie au niveau de la province. Dans cette perspective, quelques initiatives de mutuelles de santé ont été développées dans le cadre du plan de développement sanitaire 2011-2015. Jusque juin 2015, 38.702 habitants du Nord Kivu sont couverts par une mutuelle de santé, soit 0,52% de couverture (versus un objectif de 4,4%).Ce niveau de couverture en 4 ans semble témoigner des limites d'un système d'assurance maladie basé sur adhésion volontaire.

C’est dans ce contexte que ULB-Coopération et Oxfam-Novib, partenaires du MSP ont convenu d’identifier un expert(e)pour effectuer une étude de faisabilité afin d’implémenter le système d’Assurance Maladie Obligatoire dans la province pilote du Nord-Kivu.

Concept

Couverture Santé Universelle :C’est l’accès à tous à des prestations essentielles liées à la promotion de la santé, à la prévention, au traitement et à la réadaptation à un coût abordable pour permettre d’instaurer l’équité d’accès.

Assurance Maladie Obligatoire :La protection sociale contre les risques financiers liés à la maladie est assurée principalement par l'AMO qui est construite sur trois principes fondamentaux : l’égalité d’accès aux soins, la qualité des soins et la solidarité. Elle prend en charge les différents frais engendrés par la maladie.

Contexte et justification

Plusieurs approches du financement de la santé se développent en RDC. Il s’agit notamment du financement subventionné des services et soins de santé à travers la tarification forfaitaire, les mutuelles de santé, les Fonds d’Achat de services, le financement basé sur les performances et de multiples initiatives de couverture universelle. Si ces expériences apportent certains éléments de réponse aux préoccupations du secteur sur le financement de la santé, l’accessibilité financière de population reste un problème majeur auquel est confronté le MSP.

La deuxième enquête démographique et de santé (EDS RDC II. 2013-2014) présente 3,1% de couverture en assurance maladie fournie par l’employeur avec de variation de 6,2 dans le milieu urbain et de 0,4 dans le milieu rural. Concernant les mutuelles communautaires, l’enquête a présenté un taux de couverture de 1,4% avec une variation de 1,9% dans le milieu urbain et 0,9% dans le milieu rural.

En rapport avec l’accès aux soins de maternité, la même enquête note une proportion de 24% en milieu rural et de 6% dans le milieu urbain de femmes qui ont accouché à domicile[1].

En effet, les différentes modalités de financement en cours ne permettent pas toujours d’améliorer l’accessibilité des populations aux soins et services de santé de qualité. Dans certains cas, elles affaiblissent davantage le système de santé suite à la quête disproportionnée de résultats rapides imposés par certains bailleurs; plutôt que de se concentrer sur la mise en œuvre des actions relatives au développement de leurs zones de santé. Les Equipes Cadres des Zones consacrent une importante partie de leur temps à répondre aux exigences des programmes et projets qui gèrent ces financements.

Le diagnostic de la situation du financement de la santé, posé lors de l’élaboration du PNDS et de la révision de la Stratégie de Renforcement du Système de Santé en 2010, a permis d’en dégager les problèmes prioritaires; qui interpellent tous les acteurs intervenant dans le secteur en RDC. Il s’agit, entre autres, de la modicité du budget de l’Etat consacré à la santé qui reste faible et largement inférieur aux engagements des chefs d’Etats pris à Abuja (15% du budget national à consacrer à la santé), le manque d’encadrement dans l’utilisation des ressources financières provenant de la communauté alors qu’elles constituent dans la plupart des cas les seules sources permettant aux formations sanitaires de fonctionner.

Le paiement direct des soins par la population est contraire aux principes de couverture universelle prônés par l’OMS; ce mode de paiement entraine l’exclusion de près de 75% des usagers des services de santé à cause de la pauvreté[2].

Pour parvenirà la Couverture Santé Universelle trois principales options existent dont :

  1. Le recouvrement des impôts, source principale de financement des services de santé, habituellement rendus par un réseau de contractants publics et privés, appelé Service National de la Santé ;

  2. Le système d’AMO, qui, en principe, implique une adhésion obligatoire de toute la population (Salariés, travailleurs indépendants, entreprises et gouvernement) qui paie une contribution à une caisse d’AMO. La base de contribution des salariés et entreprises est normalement le salaire. La contribution des travailleurs indépendants est soit forfaitaire, soit basée sur un revenu prévisionnel. Le gouvernement peut apporter une aide à ceux qui, autrement, ne pourraient payer, tels que les sans emploi ou les salariés à bas revenusdu secteur informel.

    L’AMO a son propre réseau de prestataires, travaille avec des prestataires accrédités publics et privés ou alors combine les deux. Dans l’AMO, des fonctions (par exemple, les adhésions, la collecte des cotisations, les contrats et les remboursements des prestataires) peuvent être exécutées par des institutions paragouvernementales ou non gouvernementales, souvent connues sous le nom de Caisse Maladie. L’Assurance Maladie Obligatoire (AMO) est une des méthodes principales de financement de la santé. Trente pays ont établi le principe de la couverture universelle par cette méthode. Plusieurs pays à faible ou moyen revenus sont actuellement intéressés par l’extension de la couverture de leur assurance maladie existante à des groupes spécifiques pour couvrir éventuellement la totalité de leur population[3].

  3. L’association de deux premières options

Conscient de l’efficacité et l’efficience de l’AMO, le Ministre de la santé publique de la RDC dans son adresse aux parlementaires en 2012, est revenu sur les modalités pour la mise en œuvre de la CSU:*« Ce système va obliger tout individu qui travaille à payer un montant X dans des structures bien coordonnées. Les montants à payer seront différents dans le secteur formel et informel. Les plus riches paieront pour les plus pauvres. Et ça permettra que tout le monde ait accès aux soins de santé*».

Face à ces alternatives de système d'assurance maladie et la volonté affichée par le Ministre de la santé, le développement d'un tel système au niveau d'une province de la RDCimpose de répondre à certaines questions, notamment:

1°De par la constitution de la RDC et les textes fondateurs du système de sécurité sociale en RDC, est-il envisageable de développer un système de sécurité sociale[4] au niveau d'une province?

2°Qui sont les acteurs potentiels qui pourraient soutenir un tel système et comment perçoivent-ils une telle initiative?

3°Un tel système est-il financièrement viable? Quelles seraient les sources potentielles de financement de ces système dans le contexte global de la RDC et le contexte particulier du Nord Kivu;

4°Quelles stratégies faudra-t-il développer pour évoluer vers la concrétisation d'une telle initiative?

Les présents termes de référenceconcernent une étude de faisabilité afin d’implémenter le système d’Assurance Maladie Obligatoire dans la province du Nord Kivu, un système qui pourrait à terme être profitable à toute la population.

A cet effet, un appui technique d’un expert pour une mission court terme dans le domaine de protection sociale, en particulier pour la conception d'un système contextualisé d’AMO est nécessaire.

Is consultancy assignment in the approved Technical Assistance Plan

Yes

Background and Justification

The common services arrangement was set up in 1997 with a Common Operations Support Services (COSS) unit to support the Regional Office (RO) and UNICEF Kenya Country Office (KCO).A review on the effectiveness and efficiency of the current modus operandi of the Common Support Service Unit was undertaken in February 2015.The review identified the need to streamline common services provided by KCO for greater effectiveness and efficiency of the operational support to both offices. This involved transferring responsibilities for oversight of Human Resources (HR) and Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) functions from KCO to ESARO to allow:

· The consolidation of operational activities within KCO and the office to focus its internal operations, in the areas of finance, procurement, supply, risk management, budget management, administration, in support of effective programme delivery at national and sub-national levels and thus KCO to continue providing Common Services in the areas of Finance, Administration, Supply and Procurement.

· Sharing of operational risks between KCO and ESARO on the common services activities for more structured oversight from the Regional Office.

· Strengthening management of Human Resources and ICT to mitigate the significant risks in the Kenya context.

· Transfer of the HR and ICT Common Services to ensure optimum quality of services to both KCO and ESARO

It was also recommended that the Administration, Supply and Procurement activities in UNICEF KCO be reviewed, streamlined and strengthened once the new Representative and Chief of Operations are on board. This included development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), thorough review of internal work processes, and assessment of delivery of services in order to ensure that support is adequately provided to both KCO and RO. In addition it is also suggested to review Quality Assurance activities and Finance as part of mid-term review (MTR).

It may also be noted that a comprehensive staffing review was conducted as part new country programme development and Country Programme Management Plan (CPMP) for 2014-2018. This resulted in a major re-structuring including abolition of 85 positions and establishment of 105 new positions. Therefore the mid-term review scheduled for June 2016 may need very minor adjustments in the staffing structure as a result of any changes in the country programme.

Consultancy is required to conduct the above review to ensure independent review.
