NGOMA – Only 19 percent of Ngoma district residents have Mutuelle de santé health insurance, Ephinegène Mukandera, the Vice Mayor in charge of social affairs in the district revealed during a meeting with local officials from the district.

The Executive Secretary of the District Edward Muzungu said that the problem was attributed to poor mobilization of the masses.

He said that if local leaders at the grassroots level, were doing their work properly, everybody would now be enjoying the services of the insurance scheme.

"I call upon all local leaders to immediately start sensitization of the local population,” he said at the meeting.
