During the governance of former Prime Minister Garry Conille, Dr. Maïca Delly Mésidor, who holds a master’s degree in public health and is a doctoral candidate in epidemiology at Walden University in the United States, was supposed to be installed as the head of the Department of Epidemiology, Laboratory, and Research (DELR). However, the then-Minister of Health, Dr. Brignol-Fils Georges, repeatedly blocked the installation on the grounds that the former Prime Minister Conille was not present to give his authorization.

In a letter addressed to the current Minister of Public Health and Population (MSPP), Dr. Duckenson L. Blema, under the new government led by Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, a group of doctors and health professionals denounced the decision made by former Minister Georges, describing his action as unjust and obstructive to the proper functioning of the Haitian health system.
