   A grouping together of actors in the field of health micro-insurance (schemes, trade unions, support organizations, etc.) for the purpose of carrying out activities relating to information, training, promotion, etc.
Example: The "Concertation entre les acteurs du développement des mutuelles de santé en Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre" (Coordination network between actors involved in the development of mutual health organizations in Western and Central Africa) maintains an Internet site (www.concertation.org) that lists support organizations which may be contacted by local promoters. The site also provides numerous bibliographical references, accounts of experiences and ongoing information on major events in the field of micro insurance, including the organization of training courses. [ILO-STEP, 144]

   A benefit in which 100 per cent of health expenses are covered, minus a specified number of sessions, cases or days, the cost of which is always borne by the member.
Example: A "Hospital accommodation" benefit covers 100 per cent of expenses incurred, excluding the first day of hospitalization, which is never covered. If the patient is hospitalized for three days, the expenses corresponding to the first day are borne entirely by the member, while the second and third days are covered by the health micro-insurance scheme.
