The
person deprived of liberty asked for the support of the Human Rights Defender
in order to organize a medical treatment, specifically heart stenting
prescribed by the doctor. In accordance with the addressed complaint, the
citizen has a disability of the second group and cardiac-related health issues.
The medical service of the penitentiary institution is delaying to organize the
indicated surgery for the purpose of treatment, which has led to a
deterioration of the health condition.
Regarding
the issue, the Human Rights Defender addressed letters to the Ministry of
Health of the Republic of Armenia within the framework of the discussion
procedure.
As a
result, the person deprived of liberty was subjected to the necessary
examination and stenting was performed.
