Haiti - Health : Political hands behind the strike in hospitals ?
Thursday, Lévy Milot Félix, President of the Federation of Health Workers, lamented the deaths the previous day of a pregnant woman at the entrance to the Hospital of the State University of Haiti, for lack of care due to the strike by resident physicians https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-17361-haiti-health-irresponsible-strike-in-hospitals.html

He denounces a political hand close to the former regime, encouraging the strikers to continue their movement until May 14 in order to put pressure on President a.i. Privert. In addition, he accused the strikers of being manipulated and being guilty of non-assistance to a person in danger.

For their part, resident physicians reject accusations that they would be manipulated by hidden political hands and say their claims, including better working conditions and a salary adjustment for all health personnel, have nothing to do with political crisis affecting the country.

At the same time, the Haitian Medical Association (AMH) in a statement "welcomes the determination of Physicians in hospital residency, the Physicians public servant and caregivers in general in our public hospitals on the occasion of their denunciation of unacceptable conditions to practice their profession in our public hospitals [...]
shows solidarity respectively to their request for salary adjustment of all care providers and their demand for better working conditions."

By cons, AMH, is very careful not to attribute responsibility for this situation to the government in power and hopes that the administrative bodies and political concerned and duly mandated, engage with stakeholders in a constructive dialogue in the search for a consensus solution. AMH stresses that an official MoU with a timetable and signed by stakeholders should allow the resolution of the crisis and recovery in emergency of functioning of hospitals and public health centers.

However, the agreement between the parties is far from being concluded, on Wednesday, Dr Brunel Delaunay deplored again the intransigent behavior of striking doctors "who rejected all proposals made to them."
