Face à l’Opinion

Description:

  • Doktè Peck ak Madam Pompilus, ki se responsab OFATMA, pale sou pwoblèm OFATMA ap afwonte, tankou dèt paske anpil biznis pa peye asirans pou anplwaye yo. Sepandan OFATMA oblije bay ouvriye yo swen lè yo blese, ki fè dèt la vin pi plis, epi konsa OFATMA pa ka peye pwòp anplwaye pa l kòmsadwa. Òganizason popilè yo nan Site Solèy konn bay OFATMA presyon tou, ki fòse direksyon an fè konsesyon konsènan kiyès yo bay djòb ak kiyès yo kenbe nan pòs la. Yo pale sou kolaborasyon OFTAMA avèk OMS pou bay kat sante; kolaborasyon OMS la tou mete aksan sou enfeksyon seksyèlman transmisib ak planin. Yo pale tou sou fonksyonman OFTAMA, relasyon ant trètman ak prevansyon, ak objektif OFATMA pou l vin pi desantralize nan peyi a.

  • Dr. Peck and Mme. Pompilus of OFATMA discuss the problems facing OFATMA, including debt as the result of employers that do not pay for their employees' health insurance. OFATMA nonetheless provides care for injured workers, which drives them further into debt and renders them unable to pay their own employees. OFATMA also receives pressure from "popular organizations" in Cité Soleil, which forces the administration to make concessions in terms of hiring and retention of employees. They discuss OFATMA's work with the WHO to issue health insurance cards; the WHO collaboration also emphasizes sexually-transmitted diseases and family planning. They also discuss the function of OFATMA, the relationship between treatment and prevention, and the goal of decentralizing OFATMA.

  • Le Docteur Peck et Madame Pompilus, responsables à l’OFATMA, abordent les problèmes que connait l’institution, comme les dettes de plusieurs entreprises qui ne paient pas d’assurance pour leurs employés. Malgré tout, l’OFATMA est obligé de soigner les ouvriers blessés, ce qui augmente la dette, et occasionne des retards de paiement de l’institution envers ses propres employés. Les organisations populaires de Cité Soleil font parfois pression sur l’institution, ce qui force la direction à faire des concessions concernant les postes à pourvoir. Ils indiquent que l’OFATMA collabore avec l’OMS pour l’attribution des cartes d’assurance-santé. Cette collaboration met aussi l’accent sur les maladies sexuellement transmissibles et le planning familial. Ils parlent également du fonctionnement de l’OFATMA, de la relation entre prévention et traitement, et de l’objectif de décentralisation de l’OFATMA.
