Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2004, Publicación: 93ª reunión CIT (2005)

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

The Committee notes the comments on the application of the Convention communicated by the Trade Union Federation of Haiti, which were forwarded to the Government in October 2002. These observations concern the operational difficulties of the Insurance Office for Occupational Injury, Sickness and Maternity (OFATMA). It hopes that a report will be provided for examination at its next session and that it will include information on the measures which have been taken or are envisaged with a view to the progressive establishment of a general sickness insurance system fulfilling the requirements of the Convention. In this respect, the Committee reminds the Government of the possibility of having recourse to the technical assistance of the International Labour Office.

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