The National Assembly approved on 6 March, 2014, after the voting stage in committee, the project law establishing the universal health coverage (UHC), a compulsory social health protection for residents in Côte d'Ivoire.

The system offers two schemes, contributory and non-contributory. The first, is a basic scheme proposing a minimum package of health care provided to all people in Côte d'Ivoire due to a monthly contribution of 1,000 FCFA per insured. The non-contributory scheme applies to people living in extreme poverty; in this case, the Sate will inject into the CMU funds about 49 billion FCFA.
