Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Sickness Insurance (Industry) Convention, 1927 (No. 24) - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report for the period 1991-92. It notes that there is still no sickness insurance scheme in Djibouti, in view of the level of development of the country. It however notes the contacts which have been established with the ILO with a view to reviewing the social security question. The Committee is therefore bound to express the hope once again that, with the technical assistance of the Office at the appropriate time, the Government will be able to progressively apply a general sickness insurance scheme in accordance with the Convention. While awaiting the establishment of such a scheme, it hopes that the Government will be able to adopt in the near future a legal provision laying down the practice that workers who are not housed shall receive the necessary care and medicaments within the context of the enterprise's medical facilities in the event of sickness.
