proper access to health care and services in the inpatient facilities of the PI.
If the care of a child under the age of three is organized
in a PI, it is necessary to ensure legislative and practical
mechanisms for the mother, who is deprived of her
liberty, to accompany the child to the medical institutions
of the healthcare authorities.
Regular visits of a pediatrician to the Abovyan
Penitentiary Institution shall be secured.
For each child living in the PI with the mother, a separate
personal medical record shall be prepared, which shall
contain information on the child’s health condition, as
well as its developments and records of any examination
or inspection. In case of the person’s transfer to another
institution, this record shall be sent to the doctor in the
accepting institution.
A scheme for screening tests of women deprived of
liberty shall be developed. Women deprived of liberty
shall be offered preventive health activities, such as
Papanikolau tests, breast cancer and gynecological
cancer screening tests on an equal basis as those
provided to same-age women that are in freedom.
Screening tests of women’s health condition upon
admission to a PI shall include comprehensive screening
for determination of the primary health needs, which shall
detect:
a) The existence of sexually-transmitted or bloodborne
diseases and, depending on the risk factors, women
deprived of liberty may be offered an HIV test,
including pre-test and post-test counseling;
b) Mental health needs, including post-traumatic stress
disorder and the risks of suicide and self-harm;
