Yong Feng and Bonanza Trading Company\u2019s Deputy CEO, Andy Zhang said that, as business people, they have been very successful doing business in Rwanda thanks to political stability, conducive climate and the hospitality of Rwandan citizens. <\/p>\n
He also said that they have been excited by the mutual health insurance scheme \u2018mutuelle de sant\u00e9\u2019 which is universal. He said that it is a good program since every citizen can access health services for Rwf3000 per year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe realised that as people who do business in a beautiful country like Rwanda, we should contribute to help the citizens so that they may continue having strength and nation-building ideas. This is why we have come to do the communal work and help 100 most vulnerable families comprised of 520 people by paying for health insurance for them between 2018-2019 so that they may be able to access health services.\u201d He said. <\/p>\n
Andy noted that when they started operating in Rwanda, they learned that there is a special communal activity every last Saturday of the month. They chose to join residents in a communal activity in Muko Sector to demonstrate that the programs of the government are good and that every Rwandan and foreigner should support them because they are intended for the development of the country, Africa and whole the world.<\/p>\n
Muko Sector Executive Secretary, Theobald Kayiranga told IGIHE that the contribution is going to help the families because some of them have failed to pay for health insurance owing to natural disasters such as heavy rains that destroyed their crop during the last agricultural season.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last agricultural season was not good in general because heavy rains destroyed the crops that most citizens would have sold to pay for health insurance. Paying for health insurance for 520 people is a great contribution,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Kayiranga noted that regarding health insurance subscription, in 2017, Muko was estimated at 89.4%. However, he noted that they have been lagging behind in 2018 owing to the rains that destroyed wheat, maize and beans the cash crops citizens rely on for paying for health insurance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
