These data are valid as of the end of 2015. The table does not take into account the duty schedule of doctors and nurses but, nevertheless, it is clearly visible that ratio of the prisoners to doctors and prisoners to nurses is high at the establishments N2, N14, N15 and N17 ..165 In 2014, the Public Defender, addressed the Ministry of Corrections, to ensure a sufficient number of doctors and nurses for timely and adequate medical services in all penitentiary establishments.
