Context
The need
The Cavally and Guémon regions sit in the forest west of Côte d’Ivoire — the territory of the Wè people. The population has access to primary dispensaries, but no facility offering surgery, imaging, intensive or specialist care at the level a regional population requires. Patients needing anything beyond basic treatment travel to Abidjan or San Pédro, at a cost most households cannot absorb.
Two constraints compound one another. There is no facility; and even where care exists, the ability to pay is the binding limit. Building a hospital without addressing affordability produces an underused building. Offering cover without a facility to use it in produces a paper benefit. ADEWE’s programme addresses both at once, deliberately.

Tariff schedule
To be suppliedBenefit levels and contribution rates are being settled with the bureau and local authorities, and are not yet published. For an investor this is the single most consequential open item: the enrolment curve and premium level together determine whether the hospital’s operating balance closes.

Why this matters to a funder
Health-insurance schemes in rural West Africa fail most often at enrolment, not at design. Evidence of an operating office, a staffed field team, and accepted access to village chieftaincy is evidence on the exact axis where these schemes usually break.

What this dossier does not yet contain

Use of funds
