Haiti - Security : Fire at the GHESKIO center of the Bicentenaire
Renan Hédouville, Citizen Protector deplores the fire that occurred on the evening of June 7, 2020 at the GHESKIO Center located at the Bicentenaire. A center which plays an important role in the fight against HIV/AIDS and which today is leading a front line fight with the health authorities against the Covid-19 pandemic.

Dr. Jean William Pape, Founder of the GHESKIO Center and member of the Covid-19 scientific crisis management cell https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-30384-haiti-politic-creation-of-a-scientific-cell-to-manage-the-covid-19-crisis.html speaking on a radio of the Capital, explained that the fire had started in the area of ​​the generators, but that fortunately none victim is to be deplored. The firefighters were unable to quickly reach the scene of the incident due to insecurity in the area which requested support from the National Police of Haiti (PNH).

At least one generator from the Center was destroyed by flames as well as the entire internal electrical circuit according to the first observations.

As for the cause of the incident, Dr. Pape said "At the moment, the origin of the fire is not known. It's very difficult at the moment to determine a track [...] I don't want to speculate."

For his part, Renan Hédouville takes the opportunity to ask the population to avoid all forms of stigmatization against people suffering from symptoms linked to the Covid-19 coronavirus and recommends to the authorities concerned to reinforce security measures at hospital level and medical centers in the country.
