A workshop on ‘’International practices on the telemedicine in penitentiary institutions’’ was organised online on 29 January 2021.
The representatives of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Health, and the Prison Medicine Centre of the Republic of Armenia were acquainted with the general European standards, best practices on applying telemedicine in different countries (such as France and Romania), as well as the advantages and challenges of introducing e-health systems in the penitentiaries. The participants have now a better understanding on the types and models of different e-medical systems, and they agreed on future steps to undertake and timeline of the implementation.
The Workshop was organized within the framework of the project “Enhancing health care and human rights protection in prisons in Armenia” implemented by the Council of Europa and financed by the Action Plan for Armenia 2019 -2022.
