The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition
Article 1 of the Convention. Compulsory sickness insurance scheme for seafarers. The Committee notes the Government’s indication in a previous report that, in view of the low number of seafarers registered in the country, the latter were still covered by the general sickness insurance scheme for workers and that a specific sickness insurance scheme for seafarers would be established in due course when there were sufficient numbers of seafarers in the country. The Committee wishes to emphasize that implementation of the Convention does not require the establishment of a sickness insurance scheme specifically for seafarers and that the latter can be affiliated to the general sickness insurance scheme, on condition that the benefits provided thereunder meet the requirements of the Convention. It notes the adoption of Act No. 212/AN/07/5ème L of 19 January 2008 establishing the National Social Security Fund (CNSS), section 3 of which states that the CNSS is responsible for the provision of daily allowances and medical benefits. With reference to its observation of 2012 concerning the application of the Sickness Insurance (Industry) Convention, 1927 (No. 24), by Djibouti, the Committee requests the Government to supply information on the sickness insurance scheme currently in force in the country, particularly the benefits to which insured persons are entitled, possible means of appeal for the insured person in the event of any dispute regarding entitlement to benefits, and the financing of the sickness insurance scheme.
Article 5. Maternity benefit. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the legal provisions in force regarding maternity protection and, in particular, on the amount and duration of maternity benefit and the persons entitled to such benefit.
