    'Hospital for convicts' penitentiary institution doesn't have a
    gynecological department. 'Abovyan' penitentiary institution, where
    women and minors suffer their penalty, are being transferred to a civil
    hospital in case of having difficulties with health. As it was found
    out, it existed in the past, however was closed for security purposes,
    "instead of curing the head, they cut it", head of the Vanadzor office
    of Helsinki Civil Association Arthur Sakunts highlights and adds that
    it is a very serious issue, which also exists in detention facilities.

    According to Sakunts 'Abovyan' penitentiary institution doesn't
    even have a gynecological department, which is not normal, since
    women are being preserved there. He distinguished 3 main issues:
    minimum quality of medical services in penitentiary institutions,
    development of the practice in providing medical services to the
    convicts in civil hospitals as well as bringing the conditions in
    penitentiary institutions in line with the minimum standards, which
    does not exist today.

    In case of having difficulties with health the convict is transferred
    from the penitentiary institution to the 'Hospital for convicts'
    penitentiary institution by the decision of the penitentiary
    institution administration. According to Sakunts the subjective
    principle is of high importance here, which can influence the quality
    of medical services provided to the convict. If there is a subjective
    attitude, then there is a corruption risk, and the person involved
    in corruption who is paid for providing the service never speaks up.
