Question 220 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Gabriel Serville alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the extremely serious situation in which the neonatal intensive care unit of the Cayenne hospital center finds itself. Indeed, for several months, professionals at Cayenne hospital (Char) have been talking about their difficulties and their fear of a major health crisis. Their fears turned out to be correct. Since the end of June 2017, the neonatal intensive care unit has been unable to accommodate all women giving birth before term and all premature babies. To the point that five pregnant women and four very premature babies, according to details from hospital management to AFP, were evacuated to the mother-child center in Fort-de-France. At the beginning of July 2017, some were put on a military plane to reach Martinique. Many Char personnel underline the degraded working conditions in recent years, staff numbers and the excessive volume of hours worked by certain health professionals. While the hospital center has just emerged from a 74-day social movement, it asks it to please provide details regarding the progress of the commitments made in the end-of-conflict protocol but also more broadly on the Government's roadmap. for the public hospital service in Guyana.
