Reforming Gabon’s CNAMGS for real healthcare access

Franck Nguema, former Minister of Youth and Sports, has urged a fundamental overhaul of Gabon’s National Health Insurance and Social Guarantee Fund (CNAMGS) during a press briefing in Akanda. Addressing concerns raised by the 2025 World Health Organization (WHO) report, he clarified that the issue is not the CNAMGS’s legitimacy but its ability to deliver tangible, high-quality healthcare to its members. While the report did not label the system as fraudulent, it did emphasize the urgent need for structural improvements.
