In Chad, the government declared UHC a priority as early as 2011, and it has maintained its willingness and leadership to advance on this road ever since. In 2015, the country adopted its national UHC strategy, including an implementation roadmap. In 2016, «Ministère de la Santé publique et de la prévention» (MSP) requested technical assistance to the P4H network. A GIZ-funded health financing expert was thus deployed to support the newly set-up “Cellule interministériel de coordination de la Couverture Sanitaire Universelle» (CIC). In 2018, the expert was officially introduced as a P4H Country Focal Person. Then he was and has remained contracted by GIZ, and funded by SDC.
