ensure that a physician specialised in psychiatry (or neuropsychiatry) is present at the Facility
minimum three times a week for at least four hours, to provide an integrated approach to health
care through the inclusion of a psychiatrist in the multidisciplinary team and to enable the use
of other mental health treatment methods apart from medication and facilitate proper mental
health prevention in the specific juvenile population.

The Juvenile Facility’s physician shall, without delay, describe in detail any injuries sustained by
inmates in all instances of bodily harm by using the statutory medical documentation in

inflicting of pain constitutes mistreatment and the responsible officers will be subject to

recommendation given under 2 above and notify the relevant public prosecutors’ office.
