A:

Correctional facilities provide the following medical care to inmates:

1.Preventive health services: Carry out regular physical checkup, and track on inmates who have chronic illnesses or special diseases, and educate inmates on health promotion and disease prevention.

2.Treatment services: For inmates who may be ill, doctors will make diagnosis and provide treatment to make sure they receive proper medical care.

3.Infectious diseases prevention: Newly admitted inmates will receive blood test (to examine whether they have Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome or syphilis) and chest X-ray to achieve the purpose of early diagnosis and early intervention. In addition, every correctional facility regularly holds expanded health screenings every year.
