The aim: To consider the problems of penitentiary health care for groups vulnerable to HIV in penitentiary institutions and pre-trial detention centers in Ukraine, and to determine the state of implementation of the rights of prisoners to health care.
Materials and methods: When writing this article, the authors used a number of scientific and special study methods: regulatory method, dialectical method, statistical method. We also conducted an anonymous survey of 150 released persons from penitentiary institutions and 25 medical workers from 7 penitentiary institutions and correctional colonies in different regions of Ukraine to assess the quality and availability of medical care for convicts vulnerable to HIV infection, tuberculosis, and viral hepatitis.
Conclusions: The right to health-care of convicted prisoners must be ensured in compliance with the principle of free choice of specialist according to health-care law, health-care standards and clinical protocols (in other words, amount and standards of health-care available for prisoners must be the same as that available for other people). In practice prisoners are thrown out of the national health-care system, and the Ministry of Justice is unable to meet all needs. This can have a disastrous result as the penitentiary system will produce sick people who pose threat for civil society.
探讨乌克兰监狱和审前拘留中心中易感染艾滋病毒的囚犯群体的监狱医疗保健问题,并确定囚犯享有医疗保健权利的落实情况。
在撰写本文时,作者使用了多种科学和专门的研究方法:法规方法、辩证方法、统计方法。我们还对来自乌克兰不同地区的 7 个监狱和教养所的 150 名已刑满释放人员和 25 名医务人员进行了匿名调查,以评估易感染艾滋病毒、结核病和病毒性肝炎的囚犯的医疗质量和可及性。
根据医疗保健法、医疗保健标准和临床方案,必须确保被判刑囚犯的医疗保健权利,即根据医疗保健法享有自由选择专家的权利(换句话说,囚犯可获得的医疗保健数量和标准必须与其他人相同)。在实践中,囚犯被排除在国家医疗保健系统之外,司法部无法满足所有需求。这可能会产生灾难性的后果,因为监狱系统将产生对公民社会构成威胁的病人。
