Eleven Rivers Promotes Health Access to Farm workers.
Growers enterprises incorporated in compliance with the Eleven Rivers Certification Scheme have developed a number of practices in the field of social responsibility that increases their level of security and competitiveness in the international market.
One of these practices are the access to social rights for workers , where it is encouraging the participation of different institutions in the public and private sector.
In particular it is important to highlight the work of the agricultural enterprises located in the municipalities of Guasave and Ahome , who hire their workers through service carriers, and these workers are originating or residents in the communities surrounding work units .
In the state, for over twenty years farmers who hire migrant workers and institutions of health, education and social development sector have been promoting a series of services in hostels owned by farmers to improve the welfare and quality of life for employees and their families. However , companies that do not have shelters had not incorporated these activities.
Eleven Rivers has led to create job institutional collaboration with agricultural producers , and one of the actions that are being developed are the Health Fairs with the participation of the Ministry of Health , the IMSS (Mexican Institute of Social Security) and the public health department of the municipality Guasave .
Recently this two grower companies carried out carried out their Health Fairs with great success:
- Sistema de Producción Intensiva del Noroeste.
- Vitanova Fresh
Health Fairs allow us to incorporate preventive medicine with any workers and on this basis to follow up on the care of people who are detected with any ailment .
The services included are: early detection of breast and cervical cancer , diabetes , cholesterol , triglycerides , HIV, malaria , hypertension, tuberculosis, among others.
Protecting the health and lives of workers is a priority in growers companies involved in Eleven Rivers . Therefore, we will continue to seek the best ways to continue protecting the health of workers .
