CONSOLIDATED REPORT
of the gastrointestinal tract
complained about the lack
of diet, exacerbation of pain
when consuming common
foods, sometimes very fat
or very salty. In institutions
of the Penal System, dietary
food for sick convicts is not
provided, additional food is
provided, which is not a diet
food.
It is necessary to pay
special attention to medical
services in the Establishment
LA-155/14 of the Department
of the penitentiary system in
the Almaty oblast, in which,
at the time of the monitoring
visit, staff at the medical
ward under any pretext tried
to hide the facts of injuries
and beatings. The complaints
from convicts about the
medical ward described their
refusal to register the facts of
injuries and beatings. On the
behalf of medical workers,
insulting remarks are made to
convicts who needed medical
care, and the principles
of medical ethics and
deontology are not observed.
It is necessary to strengthen
the control over the situation
with provision of medical
preparations to the convicts
25
with HIV status, people with
disabilities,
people
with
epileptic and convulsive
syndromes, chronic diseases
to make them able to receive
continuous treatment, and to
provide the above-mentioned
persons with examination
and consultation from narrow
specialists
(neurosurgeon,
endocrinologist, cardiologist,
etc.) and to implement their
recommendations. It is also
necessary to register such
situations when convicts get
injured by other persons in the
log of injuries in the medical
ward in a timely manner
and to carry out a forensic
examination prior to healing
of injuries (within a week). It
is important to note special
bureaucratic delays when
convicts apply for medical
assistance: it is necessary to
write a petition addressed to
the head of the detachment,
then to the deputy head of
the institution, who should
put his visa on the petition,
only after that the convict can
go to the doctor for check,
as a result of which valuable
time for providing medical
assistance is lost.
