Background of MIS/UR
The Medical Insurance Scheme of the University of Rwanda (MIS/UR)
Created in 2001 on the initiative of university staff approved by the university organs, The Medical Insurance Scheme of the University of Rwanda (MIS/UR) is the pioneer in the mutual health system in Rwanda. The idea of mutuality was meant to reduce the burden of heavy health spending on the Students, Lecturers and low income supporting Staff of the university through accumulation of contributions from members for future use.
From its establishment, the scheme registered a big success towards its mission and objectives which inspired the whole health system in Rwanda. The Scheme is designed to facilitate fair financing of health care costs through pooling and judicious utilization of financial risk protection and cost-burden sharing for university community, against high cost of health care through institution of prepaid mechanism, prior to their falling ill.
