The scheme in context
CHF Iliyoboreshwa, or iCHF, is a voluntary health insurance scheme administered by the President’s Office Regional Administration and Local Government (PORALG) of the Government of Tanzania.
iCHF emerged from district-level community health funds (CHFs) which were originally established in the 1990s. Since that time, the benefit package has been broadened, entitlements have been made portable across empaneled health facilities nationwide, and management of the scheme has been shifted to dedicated local government structures in each region. iCHF is now a fully operational social health insurance scheme which has been rolled out in all 26 regions of mainland Tanzania.

All components of openIMIS (online and Android applications) are being used in the implementation.
