Creation of a Solidarity Fund for PLWHIV: CP Louis Gérald Gilles Champions It

PORT-AU-PRINCE.— During a transitional period where many point to institutional inertia, Counselor-President Louis Gérald Gilles has embarked on an approach resolutely focused on action. Without fanfare or grand gestures, he is multiplying concrete, reformist, and socially useful initiatives.

Following the announcement of his advocacy for the creation of an autonomous national office, capable of anticipating Haiti's demographic challenges, and emphasizing the need to relieve an already saturated Ministry of Public Health, Counselor Louis Gérald Gilles, in the same vein, proposes a decree aimed at creating a National Solidarity Fund for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Indeed, this project made significant progress this Monday, July 21, during a second working meeting held at the Villa d’Accueil, in the presence of the Secretary General of the Council of Ministers, Odilien Charles. Several key institutions and organizations participated, including Housing Works, FEDHAP+, FONAPOVIH, the National Committee of Key Populations, the Civil Society Forum, and the National AIDS Control Program (PNLS). A next meeting is scheduled to finalize the text of the decree.

In parallel, Dr. Gilles continues his commitment to young people through the rehabilitation of Sainte-Thérèse Park, and supports small businesses affected by insecurity with an adapted credit facility.

Through these actions, he reminds us that governing, even amidst uncertainty, remains possible when political will combines with coherence and a sense of duty.
