On the occasion of International Nurses Day, the General Directorate of the Office for Occupational Accident, Sickness, and Maternity Insurance (OFATMA) salutes the courage, professionalism, and humanity of those who work every day in service of policyholders and the Haitian population. The institution emphasized the essential role this profession plays in the country’s social and health protection framework.
This year’s global theme, “Our Nurses. Our Future. The economic power of care,” (adapted locally as “The power of nurses to act saves lives”) underscores the vital impact of nursing on healthcare outcomes. OFATMA highlighted that nurses are the backbone of their clinical services, ranging from workplace accident management to maternity care. By honoring their dedication, the institution reaffirms the importance of supporting healthcare workers as a prerequisite for a resilient national health system.
