66 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. 1 Personal inspection. Pre-trial Monitoring Information Bulletin. APT, Penal reform international, p. 5. 2 Ibid., p. 5 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.
