Côte d'Ivoire, local subsidiary of the French-Swiss group LafargeHolcim, recently signed an agreement with Nouvelle Société Interafricaine d'Assurance (NSIA) to set up a health insurance service called “Môgôbaya”. It was designed for the companies’ products marketers to insure health coverage on both small risk services (consultations, dental care, biological examinations, etc.) and large risk services (hospitalization, surgery, accidents, etc.). Xavier Saint-Martin Tillet, CEO of LafargeHolcim Côte d'Ivoire, said this solution aims to adjust a system that “has been excluding” distributors, adding that the company plans other support initiatives for employees. Let’s note that LafargeHolcim Côte d'Ivoire operates 215 sale points across the country.
