GoCab Brings CMU Health Coverage Enrollment to Abidjan Garage

In Short

GoCab partnered with Côte d’Ivoire’s CNAM to bring Universal Health Coverage enrollment and card pickup directly to its Abidjan garage. The company said all garage staff received their CMU cards on site.

What Happened

GoCab said it hosted a mobile CNAM enrollment office at its Abidjan garage to register mechanics, technicians, and maintenance workers for CMU.

CMU is Côte d’Ivoire’s Universal Health Coverage scheme, a national health insurance system that helps residents pay for care. Universal health coverage means people can access healthcare without paying the full cost out of pocket.

CNAM teams handled registration, file checks, and on-the-spot issuance of CMU cards at the garage. GoCab said this removed common blockers like travel time, paperwork friction, and schedule constraints for technical staff.

The company framed the initiative as part of its people and operations focus, pointing to the role garage teams play in fleet uptime, vehicle safety, and service reliability.

Why It Matters

For mobility and ride-hailing operators, fleet availability depends on workshop and garage teams as much as drivers and dispatch. When technicians can access healthcare more easily, it can reduce time lost to untreated illness and lower the financial stress that often comes with medical bills.

This also shows how employers can help increase CMU participation by bringing government services closer to workers, especially teams that are not desk-based. In practice, on-site enrollment can raise uptake rates compared to asking employees to visit enrollment centers on their own.

For CNAM and the wider CMU rollout, partnerships like this can support faster coverage expansion among formal-sector workers. For GoCab, it is a straightforward HR move that links staff welfare to operational performance.
