Healthcare implementation and management in Chad

Overview

In October 2026, healthcare initiatives in Chad focused on both regional policy implementation and local service evaluation.

At a national level, the Caisse nationale d’assurance santé (CNAS) hosted a workshop in N’Djamena to share experiences regarding universal health insurance. The event aimed to assist the Central African Republic and other regional delegates in addressing the institutional, financial, and technical challenges of universal coverage. CNAS Director General Sing-yabé Barnabas noted that Chad has entered an operational phase characterized by participatory governance and the digitalization of management systems.

Concurrently, at the local level in the Biobé sanitary district, health sector stakeholders met to review medical services. Chief medical officer Youssouf Abdelkerim reported that local health facilities face significant operational challenges, specifically a lack of financial resources and insufficient medical equipment.
