91 The role of medical personnel in places of detention Dr. Jörg Pont gave the keynote address for a full auditorium at the Parliamentary Ombudsman's human rights seminar on 26 October 2017. In addition, awareness and training in medical ethics should be strengthened for healthcare professionals as well as for non-medical prison staff, and national professional boards and public health authorities should actively support and maintain an oversight of healthcare professionals. With respect to training, the revised web-based course Doctors Working in Prison: Human Rights and Ethical Dilemmas23, designed by the Norwegian Medical Association and adopted by the WMA and the International Committee of the Red Cross, another Norwegian pilot project, can be recommended as well as the Council of Europe Publication Prison Health Care and Medical Ethics24 and WHO Publication Prisons and Health.25 Finally, many countries should strive to incorporate principles of medical ethics into penitentiary legislation and or adapt the legislation to medical ethics. In order to achieve this goal, greater efforts must be made to advocate for ‘Prison Health is Public Health’, to ensure the understanding of the public and politicians. 23 NWA/WMA/ICRC web-based course: Doctors working in prison: Human rights and ethical dilemmas https://nettkurs. legeforeningen.no/enrol/index.php?id=39 24 Lehtmets A, Pont J: Prison health care and medical ethics.
