 Children are forced to pay for medicines administered;  Medical staff may provide them with medications other than those required;  Psychological rehabilitation programs are not focused on the best interests of the child and are attractive to children. In this regard, the Children’s Ombudsman notes that the National Penitentiary Administration has failed to strengthen the child health protection system in the institutions it administers.
