THE STRIKERS OF THE HUEH DEMONSTRATED YESTERDAY IN PORT-AU-PRINCE
(Haiti Libre) -
The striking employees of the Hospital of the State University of Haiti (HUEH) demonstrated yesterday in the capital, following a persistent rumor on the closing of General Hospital, the largest hospital in the country, for a period of two years. A decision that would have been taken at the level of the Ministry of Public Health...
The protesters paralyzed traffic by lying on the road; at the level of the Ministry of Health on Rue Saint Honore to protest against this possibility.
The Director General of the HUEH, Dr. Alix Lassègue has not been able to clarify this rumor. "I can neither confirm nor deny this information... So I can not provide any details for now..."
We learned that in a letter dated August 29, 2011, Dr. Gabriel Thimoté Director General of the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP), with the approval of the Minister of Health Alex Larsen; that Marlène Thompson, Administrator of the hospital was transferred to the position of technical Advisor to the Directorate of Training and Development in Health Sciences (DFPSS). Unless this is a coincidence, this measure seems to have been taken to appease the strikers who have been claiming for the last two months the revocation of the Administrator of the HUEH...
For its part, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy (FMP) has expressed in a note Monday, its concerns about this strike and the dysfunction of the HUEH, which according to this note "greatly affects the practical training of students from the Faculty of Medicine and of the National School of Nursing of Port-au-Prince."
