This act demonstrates the institution's desire to maintain healthy and responsible relationships with all stakeholders in the health system.

However, the application of the tariff scale adopted on December 9, 2024 has generated major difficulties for the institution Download the scale (PDF) : https://www.haitilibre.com/docs/bareme-ofatma-12-2024.pdf Indeed, Designed and adopted outside the requirements of the law and without an in-depth actuarial study, this scale has proven to be both "legally unworkable and financially unsustainable".
