In reply to the Committee’s previous comments on the coverage in practice of the General Social Security Health System (SGSSS) in the agricultural sector, the Government states that the contributory scheme of the SGSSS covers all workers bound by a contract of employment, and that employers are obliged to register them with the SGSSS. The Government adds that it does not have statistics available on the total number of persons employed in the agricultural sector and the percentage of such employed persons registered with the SGSSS. The Committee notes this information and requests the Government to indicate whether health-care provider institutions are able to ensure the provision to insured persons of the care guaranteed by the compulsory health plan in all the regions of the country, and particularly in agricultural regions.
Furthermore, the Committee requests the Government to refer to the comments that it is making on the application of Convention No. 24.
