The National Institute of Health Insurance
(INAM) was awarded the ISSA Good Practice Award for Africa 2023 on 17 May. This
award was given by the International Social Security Association (AISS). This
is the second time that INAM has received this award after the one it received
in 2020. It is being honoured this time for its outstanding commitment to the
modernisation of health services.
The certificate of merit was awarded to
INAM for its implementation of a revolutionary digital platform, known as
"Iconventionnement". This platform automates the process of
contracting health care providers, offering an efficient and practical solution.
With Iconventionnement, healthcare providers can now submit their applications
for conventionnement online, simplifying the administrative process and
speeding up the processing of applications.
The automation of INAM's application
process has been recognised by the ISSA's independent international jury as a
good practice that could inspire other institutions within the international
organisation. This recognition underlines INAM's commitment to adopting
innovative solutions to improve the efficiency and quality of its services.
The implementation of this platform is
part of INAM's ambitious digital transformation project, which aims to
modernise the institute and meet the challenges of universal health coverage.
By investing in cutting-edge technologies and promoting system
interoperability, INAM is striving to improve the quality of health care and
facilitate data exchange with its partners.
This initiative marks an important step in
the modernisation of the health system in Togo. By offering a reliable and
secure digital solution, INAM demonstrates its commitment to improving the
accessibility and quality of health services for the entire population. This
international recognition testifies to the effectiveness of INAM's approach and
encourages other countries and institutions to follow suit.
INAM was the winner of the ISSA Good
Practice Award for Africa 2020. Indeed, in October 2021, it received its first
award during the virtual award ceremony organised by the International Social
Security Association (ISSA) for Africa. The Certificate of Merit with Special
Mention is awarded to INAM for "Transformation of the health insurance
business and achievement of strategic objectives based on the ISSA Good
Practice Framework". The innovative and structured approach to the
selection and implementation of the IT infrastructure adopted by INAM for the
upgrade of its information system was highly appreciated by the ISSA jury.
