The free medical consultation campaign launched on April 08, 2024 ended on Sunday May 26, 2024, after visiting the thirteen communes of Greater Lomé and six localities in the Vo and Yoto prefectures. This initiative, orchestrated by the Institut National d'Assurance Maladie (INAM), enabled 11,360 people to benefit from free medical care.

The free consultation campaign offered a full range of medical services, including consultations, medicines, blood pressure and diabetes screening, and health advice. The operation targeted diverse populations, from children to the elderly, including men and women.

A successful mission

The massive take-up by local populations and the impressive figures testify to the success of this campaign. According to INAM, results exceeded expectations, reaching 113% of initial targets. Beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to the organizers and medical teams for their warm welcome and the care provided. The operation ended on a note of general satisfaction, as it enabled essential care to be provided to vulnerable populations.

Collaboration and objectives

Organized in collaboration with the Centre Africain de Recherche en Épidémiologie et en Santé Publique (CARESP), the Ordre National des Médecins du Togo (ONMT) and the Agence Nationale du Volontariat au Togo (ANVT), this campaign is part of the health and social action policy of the Assurance Maladie Universelle (AMU).It aims not only to provide healthcare to vulnerable populations, but also to collect reliable health data for the medical assistance scheme.
