Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2007, Publicación: 97ª reunión CIT (2008)

Convenio sobre el seguro de enfermedad (industria), 1927 (núm. 24) - Haití (Ratificación : 1955)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the report provided by the Government in which it refers to certain measures taken to improve the functioning of the Insurance Office for Occupational Injury, Sickness and Maternity (OFATMA) and requests the technical assistance of the Office to assist in the establishment of a sickness insurance system. The Committee notes this request and recalls that the Office already carried out a certain number of activities in the country between 2000 and 2002, one of the aims of which was to support the Government in order to extend social protection to cover excluded groups and to organize training workshops linked to the promotion of various micro-insurance systems. The Committee hopes that the Office will continue to provide technical assistance in order to contribute to the establishment in the country of an operational sickness insurance system and gradually to help guarantee that the needs of the workers in the industry and agriculture sectors are adequately met.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
