Pending verification of submitted information patients can get notification of the value of health points credit they have been pre-approved for.
Effective disbursement of the health points credit is subject to the patient’s payment of a down payment (NOT a deposit) and verification of the submitted information.
Currently, health credits (financial assistance) are only available to people living in Yaounde, Cameroon. Patients requesting financial assistance in the form of health credits can be approved for 10 000 – 30 000 FCFA worth of NaYa health points. Similar to NaYa health points purchased with the health card, health points obtained through health credit can only be used to obtain medical care (medicines, doctor’s consultations) at participating medical providers.
Health cards are bundled care service packs. When you purchase a health card you are making a single payment covering a bundle of distinct medical products and services required for the treatment of a given medical condition.

We’ve listened and came up with a Zero-deposit health point credit and a fully traceable funds transfer process for local patients and family caregivers in the diaspora and at home. To make our process sustainable we apply service fees. If this is a catch, well we like to think we are a pretty good one:)
