Overview

What this service involves

Community-based health insurance, commonly known as Mutuelle de Santé, is administered by the Rwanda Social Security Board. Check household membership details and the current contribution instructions through official RSSB channels.

Keep payment confirmation and verify that each intended household member appears correctly before relying on active cover. Ask official support to correct missing or inaccurate details.

Care and referral arrangements can depend on the scheme's current rules and the assigned health facility. Confirm the pathway with RSSB or your health facility before seeking non-emergency care elsewhere.
