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.
