CAT/OP/CHL/1/Add.1 increased in different regions of the country in order to achieve national coverage or to ensure the necessary coordination with the corresponding health services. 107. With regard to the Subcommittee’s recommendation, the Prison Service has stated that all health care should be assessed on the basis of urgency and continuity of dental treatment through the registration system that includes a record of appointments and shows whether or not the patients received care. 108. Furthermore, while the recommendation is expressly addressed to the Prison Service, SENAME will include dental care and special treatment for children and adolescents subject to protection and the adolescent criminal system, in the context of the agreement being drawn up with the Ministry of Health, to ensure that they receive appropriate dental care without discrimination. 109. Paragraph 63: [T]he Subcommittee recommends that particular attention be paid to the provision of medication to people with HIV, other chronically ill patients and other prisoners who require treatment. In all cases, a register should be signed by prisoners to confirm that they received their medication. The Subcommittee recommends that prison health services adapt their protocols and facilities to ensure that persons deprived of their liberty who wish to do so can use traditional knowledge and medicines as an alternative or supplement to the treatments that the health services normally dispense. 110. In April 2016, the Prison Service and the Ministry of Health entered into a cooperation agreement to provide preventive care and comprehensive treatment to prisoners living with HIV/AIDS.33 The agreement allows them access to antiretroviral treatment. It also provides for education programmes focused on HIV prevention targeted at officials and persons deprived of their liberty, as well as the handing out of condoms. 111. In addition to the above, with the aim of providing timely care to prisoners living with HIV/AIDS, regulations on performing HIV tests on persons deprived of their liberty were published in March 2016.34 In addition covering the procedure for taking samples, the regulations stipulate that prisoners who test positive cannot be discriminated against or segregated within the prison, the outcome of the test must remain confidential, and the test must be taken voluntarily.35 They also lay down the conditions under which tests are to be conducted. 112. With regard to the provision of medicines, medications brought in to prisons by family members are now monitored. Medicines supplied by the Prison Service are recorded on the bin card.36 Work is currently under way on a pilot project to automatically record medicine stocks through software installed in the central pharmacy, which will be rolled out nationwide when the necessary IT support system is in place. 113. While the recommendation is focused on centres run by the Prison Service, it should also be noted that an inter-agency cooperation agreement is in effect between SENAME and the Ministry of Health. 37 The aim of the agreement is to promote sexual health and to prevent and control HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in a context of non-discrimination. In that regard, the role of both institutions is to help achieve the health objectives in terms of promoting sexual health and preventing and controlling HIV/AIDS 33 34 35 36 37 GE.17-07762 Exempt resolution No. 123 of 5 April 2016, adopting a cooperation agreement between the Ministry of Health and the Prison Service.
