Only those patients are put on an electronic queue whose medical services are preplanned. Urgent cases are not subject to a queue. There are separate electronic queues
for eastern and western parts of Georgia and they are regulated independently. Referrals to outpatient clinics and inpatients clinics are regulated separately as well.
According to explanations obtained from the representatives of the Medical Department of the Ministry of Corrections, scheduled referrals are impeded by barriers such as
prisoners injuring themselves, going on hunger strike or arbitrarily stopping a treatment
course. Another problem in regard to medical referrals is the capacity of civilian hospitals to deal with prisoners. According to the information received from the Ministry of
Corrections, prisoners are contractually served by 51 civilian clinics. In addition, prisoners are served by the Centre for the Treatment of Tuberculosis and Rehabilitation (the
establishment N19) and the Treatment Institution for Accused and Convicted Persons
(the establishment N18).
According to the information received from the Ministry of Corrections, in 2015, 2292
referrals were made to the penitentiary hospitals, and 3992 referrals were made to civil
hospitals.
Number of the accused/convicts transferred to civil hospitals both in ambulatory or
stationary (urgent, planned) in 2015
