as other information containing medical secrets shall not be accessible to the PI’s non-medical personnel— thereby securing the confidentiality thereof. Filling the Positions of Medical Personnel 2.3.5. 2.3.6. 2.3.7. 2.3.8. 2.3.9. 2.3.10. It is necessary to ensure that the vacancies in the health care and services sphere within the penitentiary system are filled, and flexible mechanisms for recruitment of specialists shall be implemented in order to prevent such vacancies. The positions designated in the PI shall be filled, and their quantity shall be allocated reasonably—taking into account the PI’s capacity, disease prevalence, and the nature and volume of health care and service needs in the specific PI.  Otherwise, there may be a situation in which PIs with different capacities and loads have the same number of staff positions, which shall cause the medical services to be overloaded and, consequently, perform inadequately. A PI’s medical personnel shall include at least one qualified general doctor—preferably specializing as a general physician or a family physician.  Otherwise, narrowly-specialized doctors will have to provide non-competent advice or call the ambulance service. A PI shall have 24-hour medical services, including during the evening and night hours, as well as nonworking days. At least one doctor shall stay on duty at night in the PI’s in-patient ward. Persons deprived of liberty shall have access to specialized dental and psychiatric services. 20
