Sick detainees are people with serious health conditions that require treatment, but often have limited access to such treatment in prison conditions. This poses a major human rights challenge and States have an obligation to make special arrangements for sick prisoners. The right of prisoners to fair access to health care should be seen as part of the right to life.

Sick prisoners often have limited access to medical care in prison.

Zieke gedetineerden zijn mensen met ernstige gezondheidsproblemen die behandeling nodig hebben, maar hebben vaak beperkte toegang tot dergelijke behandeling in gevangenisomstandigheden. Dit vormt een grote uitdaging voor de mensenrechten en staten zijn verplicht om speciale regelingen te treffen voor zieke gevangenen. Het recht van gevangenen op eerlijke toegang tot gezondheidszorg moet worden erkend als onderdeel van het recht op leven.

Zieke gevangenen hebben in de gevangenis vaak beperkte toegang tot medische zorg.

Mahkumların sağlık hizmetlerine adil erişim hakkı, yaşam hakkının bir parçası olarak görülmelidir.



Hasta tutukluların hapishanede tedaviye erişimleri genellikle sınırlıdır.
