CAT/OP/ARG/1/Add.1 Social Rehabilitation Directorate, which reports to the Under-Secretariat for Prison Affairs of the Secretariat for Justice, will be responsible for supervising such arrangements. 50. Generally speaking, the advantage of electronic surveillance methods is to facilitate prisoner reintegration, to enable suspects to continue working and to maintain their family and social ties. It also introduces greater personal discipline while avoiding exposure to criminal influences in prison. Electronic surveillance is also an additional means of protecting victims of crime and civil society in general in cases where the risk factors are not excessive. They also assist in reducing or eliminating prison overcrowding, provide more efficient control of house arrest, and allow for more efficient management of offenders serving community service sentences, besides ensuring greater efficiency in the management of offenders with specific criminal tendencies and strengthening the protection guarantees given to victims of crime or civil society in general. 4. Health services 51. A brief report was prepared as part of the Prison Health Programme run by the Community Medicine Directorate of the Ministry of Health is given in annex 3 together with the Strategic Comprehensive Health Plan for the Federal Prison Service 2012–2015. This strategic plan was approved by joint Ministry of Justice and Human Rights and Ministry of Health Decisions (No. 010 and No. 77 respectively) of 23 January 2013 and aims to build a comprehensive health-care system for persons deprived of their liberty. 52. The plan contains the strategic planning guidelines for consolidating health care in conditions of detention and strengthening public health and social inclusion programmes in general, as implemented by the State in federal prison units. 53. The measures proposed in the plan include: introducing new national and provincial health-care programmes in prison units, concluding new cooperation agreements with public hospitals, national universities and other research organizations in the field of health, and performing regular health checks on all persons deprived of their liberty, particularly pregnant women and children under 4 years of age. 54. The plan’s objectives also include: strengthening communicable diseases prevention strategies; optimizing the management of resources and inputs, for example through full access to contraceptive methods and the Ministry of Health’s complete official schedule of vaccinations; conducting ongoing and targeted training and awareness-raising campaigns for health professionals working in the Federal Prison Service and among the prison population, and digitizing the medical records of persons deprived of their liberty. 55. With regard to managing the procurement of medicines, it should be noted that the REMEDIAR+ Networks Programme of the Ministry of Health covers many of the requirements. While the programme covers the basic requirements in terms of medicines of individual prison establishments, the Health Directorate is also organizing the procurement, through special mechanisms, of annual supplies of medicines, disposables, dental materials, laboratory supplies and materials and radiology materials through a tendering process. The REMEDIAR+ Networks Programme distributes medicines according to a logistical distribution plan with support from the private postal service “OCA”. Medicines and medical supplies purchased directly or by public tender are sent to the Medical Supplies Division (Central Pharmacy), from which they are subsequently redistributed to the individual federal prison units. 56. The supply of medicines for the Central Prison Service follows the same procurement process as for the rest of the prison system. In Note No. 261/2013 DS, a request was made for Prison Unit No. 28 to be reinstated in the REMEDIAR+ Networks Programme. The Central Prison Service, and therefore the Judicial Detention Centre (Prison Unit No. 28), has a medical service run by a Chief Medical Officer, who coordinates 24- 12 GE.14-40297
