A:

1.Currently most inmates have been included in National Health Insurance (NHI) and hospitals have clinics set up in correctional facilities. Inmates who do not have NHI can see a public health physician by requesting their ward superintendent to make an appointment for them. 

2.Inmates who have chronic illness and need to take medications on a long-term basis can apply to see a doctor and get their medications inside the correctional facility. However, to facilitate uninterrupted treatment, inmates can apply for certificates of diagnosis, summary of medical record and prescription record from previous hospitals for the reference of the correctional facility.  

3.Relatives of inmates can rest assured that if an inmate is unable to receive proper treatment inside the correctional facility, the doctor will recommend the arrangement of out-of-prison  treatment or transfer to in-facility medical ward. If an inmate is critically ill, the facility will also consider granting outside medical care on bail.
