The National Council for Universal Coverage (CNCU) in the Democratic Republic of Congo is analyzed and proposals for optimal health coverage are made. Currently, the CNCU is experiencing technical difficulties and does not guarantee free health care. To improve the situation, the creation of an autonomous “Health Fund”, based on the bases of the existing social security funds, is proposed. This would make it possible to extend health coverage to the entire population. It is time to take concrete steps to build a universal health system in the DRC.
