The DGAPR said Wednesday, in a press release, that all detainees suffering from serious illnesses or requiring medical follow-up have received a contact form and a prescription allowing them to continue their medical care after their release, as well as the necessary documents for monitoring their illnesses (copies of biological and radiological analyses and medical reports, etc.), and medication, depending on their availability and the nature of the cases, for a period of at least one month.
They include anti-tuberculosis drugs (one month of treatment with the possibility of contacting a respiratory disease treatment center to have access to medical care), antiretroviral drugs for HIV (all the necessary drugs are provided), as well as cancer drugs.
It also concerns offering a 48-hour dose of methadone, with the possibility of contacting addictology centers to guarantee the continuity of treatment, and return unused doses.
Concerning psychiatric care, detainees have medication covering one week, with a prescription valid for fifteen days starting the day of release.
