36 facilitating and monitoring the implementation of the related international treaties. 104 Since this obligation of mine is relevant to performing tasks related to the NPM as well, the visiting delegations pay special attention to the prevention of the ill-treatment of women, young adults, homosexual, bisexual, and transgender persons, as well as persons deprived of their liberty who are in need of medical care. 6.4. Medical care In Hungary, “everyone shall have the right to physical and mental health.”105 All “patients have the right, within the frameworks specified by the law, to proper medical care that is corresponding to their state of health, continuously accessible, and meeting the requirement of equal treatment.”106 Medical services available to persons deprived of their liberty, such as medical treatment, nursing, providing the appropriate diet, therapeutic appliances and equipment, rehabilitation or any other special treatment, shall be provided in a way that is generally accessible to the members of society. The barrierfree access to, the furnishing and equipment of healthcare institutions, as well as the medical, nursing, and technical staff thereof should also meet the aforementioned requirements. 6.5. Nutrition A proper diet is an immanent element of the detainees’ right to health, guaranteed by Article XX of the Fundamental Law. Unhealthy diets, overweight and obesity caused by sedentary lifestyle contribute to a large proportion of non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers, which, according to the WHO’s data, together are the main killers in Europe. 107 According to the visits’ findings, the places of detention usually provide the detainees with nutrition meeting the statutory requirements; however, the inadequate composition of the meals and the sedentary lifestyle resulting from detention often lead to obesity and diseases caused by being overweight. During the visits, I examine the detainees’ nutrition with the assistance of a gastroenterologist or a dietitian. 6.6. Activities, free time Measures aimed at counterbalancing isolation and meaningless activities caused by the deprivation of liberty are of major importance in all detention sectors. The NPM’s inspections pay special attention to the community, cultural, educational, and open-air programs organized by the places of detention for the persons deprived of their liberty. 6.7. Coercive, disciplinary, and restrictive measures Deprivation of liberty and the application of coercive and restrictive measures in themselves affect the enforcement of fundamental rights. The risks emerging therefrom may be mitigated through the adoption of adequate legal regulations and their appropriate implementation. My colleagues also inquire after incidents occurred at the given place of detention and the conflict management methods used by its personnel. They examine how the application of coercive and disciplinary measures by the personnel against persons deprived of their liberty violating the house rules of the given place of detention and the restrictive measures applied in health- and social care institutions are documented. The inspection of the available documents related to the application of coercive, disciplinary, and restrictive measures, including the notes of the health care personnel, is also See Section 1(1)-(3) of the Ombudsman Act See Article XX(1) of the Fundamental Law 106 See Section 7(1) of Act CLIV of 1997 on Healthcare 107 http://www.euro.who.int/en/health-topics/disease-prevention/nutrition/nutrition 104 105
