Workmen's Compensation (Accidents) Convention, 1925 (No. 17) - Sao Tome and Principe (Ratification: 1982)

The Committee notes with regret that the report provided by the Government in 2013 is identical to the report received in 2007 and does not provide any information on the current situation in the country. In this situation, the Committee is bound to repeat its request and hopes that, when adopting the regulations under Act No. 7 of 2004 on social protection, the Government will take into account the comments made on the application of the following Articles of the Convention: Article 5 (requirement to provide benefits for permanent partial incapacity); Article 7 (supplementary benefits where the victim needs the constant help of another person); and Articles 9 and 10 (the necessity to provide surgical care and the normal renewal of such artificial limbs and surgical appliances as are recognized to be necessary).
