2.3. Health
Institutional Independence of the Medical Personnel
2.3.1.
Oversight of the adequacy and quality of the services
provided by the medical personnel shall not be
performed by the PI management or the PS; it shall be
performed by an organization closely related with the
public health system outside the PS—thereby ensuring
the institutional independence of the doctors and their
unconstrained work.
With such institutional subordination, there is a high
level of trust in the medical personnel. Inmates will not
perceive the doctor as a penitentiary officer, and the
medical personnel will not perceive the patients as
persons deprived of liberty.
2.3.2. The necessary financial and social safeguards and other
mechanisms shall be put in place to secure the
institutional independence of the medical personnel.
2.3.3. Medical interventions or clinical decisions and
professional conclusions with respect to persons
deprived of liberty shall be based only on medical
criteria. The reason is that the medical personnel shall
operate independently, on the basis of their professional
qualification, and within the limits of their authority.
Protection of Medical Confidentiality
2.3.4.
Information on the health condition of a person deprived
of liberty, the medical tests performed in relation to such
person, the medication prescribed, and dosage, as well
