Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

See under Convention No. 24, as follows:

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report. It also notes the adoption of Act No. 100 of 23 December 1993 establishing an integrated social security system, of Decree No. 1298 of 22 June 1994 enacting the organic status of the general social security system on health as well as various other texts under Act No. 100. The Committee requests the Government to supply in its next report further information on the entry into force of this legislation in regard to sickness insurance and its implementation in practice. It would like, in particular, the Government to provide detailed information for each of the Articles of the Convention in regard to medical care and sickness benefits.

With respect more particularly to Article 2 of the Convention, the Committee hopes that the Government's next report will contain detailed information on the geographical extension of the integrated social security scheme in order to ensure that all workers covered by the Convention benefit from sickness insurance.

[The Government is requested to report in detail in 1997.]
