Long-term Deprivation of Liberty Rooms for visits at the Photograph 36 «Teresa de Calcuta» center Glass panel in the room Photograph 37 for visits 159. In respect to health care, the «Teresa de Calcuta» center has a doctor and a nurse that do not belong to the public health system. From the point of view of health care, this means that the center is under the authority of Brea de Tajo. The Primary Care physician there, who has medical records for all of the juveniles in custody, is consulted and orders the tests and examinations to be performed and prescribes required medication. Despite the high occupancy at this center, it lacks basic life support and reanimation equipment. At the time of the inspection visit, it was noted that one of the minors in custody had a myocardiopathy and tuber­ culosis, with a high risk of having a heart attack if he did sports or in the case of physical effort. At the «Zambrana» center, the health care professionals are lo­ cated in the center itself and available to attend minors directly. At the «Las Palmeras» center, the health care services are provided under an agreement with the Clínica Madrid, whereby a doctor visits the center two days a week, a psy­ chiatrist is available whenever needed, usually once a week, and a registered nurse goes to the center the day after the psychiatrist’s visit.
