Faced with the rejection of health measures to curb the Covid-19 epidemic, negotiations continue in Martinique.

The mediation mandated by the government at the CHU of the island, where the inter-union is opposed to the health pass and the vaccination obligation of caregivers, recommended Friday the postponement of the obligation to December 31, date of the end of the state of health emergency in this overseas department.

Arriving on November 1 in Fort-de-France to find a way out of the current conflict, the national mediator Danielle Toupillier said she had met more than a hundred people during her stay, where the population "worried and fractured "Was" particularly affected by a fourth murderous wave ".

According to the latest figures from the Regional Health Agency (ARS), 700 people have died from Covid-19 at the Fort-de-France CHU since the start of the epidemic, and only 38.6% of 12-year-olds and more present a complete vaccination schedule.

Divided hospital teams

Supported by the virologist Emmanuel Gordien, and the director of work at the prefecture Léandre Beauroy, the national mediator did not however succeed in setting up mediation, in the face of the health intersyndicale which demanded the enlargement of the framework of its mission beyond the public service alone. "My mission is finished, even if we never formally returned to mediation as we hoped", thus recognized Friday Danielle Toupillier, whose mission was scheduled until November 12th.

In a letter addressed to the Ministries of Health and Overseas Territories, the mediator however made six recommendations in order to "maintain the capacity to take care of patients" at the Martinique University Hospital, who "fear a degradation of care with the division ”which reigns between the hospital teams. Among these recommendations, she proposes a postponement of the deadline concerning the vaccination obligation. Initially scheduled for October 24, after a first exemption, the first injection must be performed on December 6. The second dose, which was to be mandatory on November 15 on the island, would be postponed to December 31.

During this period, Danielle Toupillier recommends maintaining free PCR and antigen tests.

Finally, "for those who do not wish to be vaccinated, a support and accompaniment system for reclassification or professional retraining is to be expected", recommends the mission.

The response from ministers Olivier Véran and Sébastien Lecornu is expected in the coming days.
