The invited guests who included Dr Uziel Ndagijimana, the Permanent Secretary on the Ministry of Health, Louis Mukunzi in Charge of Mutuelle, Dr Dushime Theophile, Dr Daniel Ufitikirezi from the RSSB and Dr Gakwaya Innocent.
The aim of shifting the Mutuelle de Sante from the Ministry of health to the RSSB was to leave the Ministry of health with medical responsibilities and then let the RSSB as a specialized entity into the management of people insurances.

The representatives of the Ministry of heath informed the general public that RAMA insurance will remain operation as well as other insurance packages.
We will treat each insurance sector separately as to prevent each category from a financial harm, one of the Ministry of health speakers said.

According to journalists, cases of Mutuelle de Sante owners denied to receive medical care were observed. The new financial management set for the RSSB will not allow this to happen as money collection from the population will be done early.
Even though the new system is meant to be effective, invited guests from both the Ministry of Health and the RSSB recognized that that the many procedural issues need to be done.
Listeners appreciated this new policy but called upon planners to eliminate all the injustices people have been enduring at the health centers while they had legal papers of the Mutuelle.
