Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1990, publiée 77ème session CIT (1990)

Referring to its earlier comments, the Committee notes that the Government is in the process of studying the recommendations formulated during the technical assistance mission carried out by the ILO in 1988, namely: the priority to be accorded to maternity insurance; measures to be taken in respect of occupational diseases; the progressive extension of sickness insurance to the agricultural sector. Consequently, the Committee can only once again express the hope that, with the technical assistance of the ILO, the Government will be in a position to implement progressively the general sickness insurance scheme in compliance with the Convention. It requests the Government to indicate all progress made in this respect.
