Health Coverage Guinea Civil Servants

The Prime Minister of Guinea, Mamadou Bah Oury, has announced an 80 per cent health coverage plan for retired civil servants, funded by the State. This announcement comes when many people are concerned about the high cost of living.

“I had the immense pleasure today of launching health insurance for active and retired government employees. The fear of survival or hardship for thousands of families is over. Public sector workers can now retire with the assurance of 80 per cent health coverage. August 7, 2024, becomes a great day for the Republic. The CNRD is a founding act of effective reconciliation between the population and the State,” Oury declared on his Facebook account.

Speaking to Guinéenews about this development, Amadou Diallo, the General Coordinator of the Guinean Trade Union Movement, praised the decision, stating that it came at the right time.

Diallo said health coverage has been one of the Union’s demands. He added that the achievement, which is a result of recent tripartite negotiations, is a relief for Guinean workers.

“It is a joy because the worker only pays 20 per cent from his pocket, and 80 per cent comes from the State’s pocket. Frankly, it is a great sigh of relief because, currently, the civil servant has expenses. He has his wife and his children. So, it is a great sigh of relief for the Guinean working class, too,” he stated.
