The establishment of an insurance cover for the Senegalese artists

The ministry of culture and the Nouvelle Société Interafricaine d'Assurance (NSIA) are intent on setting up a social and medical cover for the benefit of artists during the first semester of 2010. The plan, which includes several schemes, is providing a medical cover from 5 000 000 FCFA (10 950 USD) up to 15 000 000 FCFA (32 850 USD) for contributions varying from 5 000 FCFA (10.9 USD) to 200 000 FCFA (438 USD). Top-of-the-range formula proposes the expatriation of the insured to medical centers located in the Maghreb or in Europe.
