CONSOLIDATED REPORT
This provision is contrary to
international practice, where
the participation of medical
staff in examinations is not
ethical. “The responsibility of
the doctor to provide medical
assistance to the prisoner
should not overlap with the
duty of participation in the
prison security system”1.
Also, employees conduct
ing inspections should be
trained to conduct them in
a sensitive and professional
manner,
avoiding
un
necessary penetrations and
touches2.
In total, as of the beginning
of the year until January 18,
2017, 67 people arrived as
prison transfer.
The visit paid to pre-trial
detention center UKA 168/1
in Aktyubinsk oblast on
May 15, 2018 showed that
the quality of medical care
and the attitude of medical
workers, according to the
pre-trial detention center
inmates, leaves much to be
desired.

Monitoring persons could
personally verify this. An
employee of the medical
ward, doctor M., refused to
answer questions, claimed
to be very busy and left the
medical office.
Returning to the office
later, she could not give
information
about
the
reasons for the absence of
medical records of convicts.
She claimed that it was not
her responsibility.
While monitoring the
female cell, a complaint was
received from the person
under investigation that
she needed plaster to be
replaced, but doctor M.
claimed that she did not
know about this fact and did
not consider it necessary to
deal with fracture issues.
In one of the cells accused
O. was discovered with traces
of beatings, hematomas.
At the time of monitoring,
he was in the cell for 10
days. None of the medical
staff of pre-trial detention
center was interested in the
convict’s well-being. Wounds
and hematomas were not
treated and bandages were
not changed.
