MONITORING PLACES OF DETENTION : A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR NGOS 141 SPECIFIC HEALTH CARE FOR WOMEN Standards “(…) Insofar as women deprived of their liberty are concerned, ensuring that the principle of equivalence of care is respected will require that health care is provided by medical practitioners and nurses who have specific training in women's health issues, including in gynaecology. Moreover, to the extent that preventive health care measures of particular relevance to women, such as screening for breast and cervical cancer, are available in the outside community, they should also be offered to women deprived of liberty.” CPT, GR 10, §32 “1. In Women’s' institutions there shall be special accommodation for all necessary prenatal and postnatal care and treatment. Arrangements shall be made wherever practicable for children to be born in a hospital outside the institution. If a child is born in prison, this fact shall not be mentioned in his birth certificate. 2. Where nursing infants are allowed to remain in the institution with their mothers, provision shall be made for a nursery staffed by qualified persons, where the infants shall be placed when they are not in care of their mothers.” SMR, Rule 23.1 “1.
