Cette visite a permis à la Première Dame de cerner les différents problèmes auxquels sont confrontées ces personnes au lendemain du tremblement de terre du 12 janvier 2010. L’espace est en grande partie endommagée et des sinistrés y sont également hébergés. Une situation d’encombrement qui rend difficile la gestion du centre.
Trente-neuf (39) hommes et dix-sept (17) femmes âgés entre 60 et 115 ans y vivent actuellement. Ils ont remercié la Première Dame qui, selon eux, apportent un vent d’espoir au centre. En effet, depuis plus de quatre ans, les visites officielles sont de plus en plus rares à l’Asile communal.
La Première Dame a reçu, à l’occasion de cette visite, une gerbe de fleurs du comité de gestion de l’espace. Les membres veulent, par ce geste, témoigner leur gratitude envers Madame Martelly, qui par sa présence, fait montre de l’attention soutenue que l’Exécutif accorde à la classe défavorisée et aux plus vulnérables. Ils souhaitent donc que le prochain gouvernement travaille à les faire sortir de cet espace.
La Première Dame a, durant cette journée, discuté aussi avec la population de la zone de St-Martin qui l’a félicitée pour le travail social qu’elle accomplit aux côtés du Chef de l’Etat. Intervenant aux micros des journalistes présents à l’Asile communal, Mme Martelly a promis de se pencher sur la situation et les diverses recommandations des résidents de l’Asile communal.
Conducted under the leadership of the Office of the First Lady, the initiative brought together the members of the team Health of the President and those of the Ambassador Eric Goosby of OGAC who oversees the PEPFAR program (President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief).
In her opening remarks, the First Lady of the Republic of Haiti has highlighted that "... the finding of the health needs of the Haitian people, in addition to the new demographic and epidemiological challenges is the reason that leads to the exercise of strategic thinking." Indeed, 40% of the population still lacks access to health services.
This working session also served to highlight the basic epidemiological data, the financial data and the diagnosis the health situation of the country.
The reform of the CCM (Country Coordinating Mechanism - a mechanism of coordination for a better management of resources from the Global Fund for HIV / AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria) was also addressed and the request was made so that the First Lady take the leadership of the latter.
Ambassador Goosby has focused on the provisions of U.S. Government to support the new administration which he welcomed the commitment. He stressed that the statistics should not frighten, but rather, serve as stimuli in the planning of the response to the needs.
The First Lady came out strengthened in her conviction regarding the need to identify in the short term, the strategies and possible actions around the fundamental pillars for the strengthening of health system in Haiti.
