CONSOLIDATED REPORT isolation of violent inmates), in which a window opening is not provided. In general, the situation regarding the medical support of the inmates of the PTDC NSC RoK is in line with national legislation and international standards for the treatment of prisoners. In each PTDC NSC RoK there is a medical ward, where medical assistance is provided by a paramedic. For example, members of the NPM team in Almaty and Almaty oblast note that “the medical ward of PTDC NSC RoK includes three offices: reception, procedural and administrative. The equipment of a premedical office complies with the norms. If there is a necessity to consult specialists, the hospital or clinic of the National Security Committee is contacted. In emergency cases of medical care, a paramedic using the institution car will immediately take the patient to the hospital of the National Security Committee”. The same practice in the field of organizing medical care is available in PTDC NSC 115 RoK in Astana and South Kazakhstan. According to the NPM team members in SKO “a paramedic at the time of the visit did not have a specialist certificate for exercising medical activities”, which is a serious violation of the requirements of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. None of the PTDC NSC RK has created the proper conditions for persons with disabilities who are held in detention there. To improve the living conditions, social and medical support for the remand detainees held in the PTDC NSC RK, it is necessary: 1) to equip the toilet areas with sinks and toilets with handrails for wheelchair users, to ensure privacy conditions; 2) to equip the shower rooms with separate places with flexible hoses and stools for convicted persons with disabilities; 3) to create and install gently sloping platforms for movement to the walking yard, i.e. create a barrier-free environment for persons with disabilities
