Transcript
00:00 The Department of Justice launched a telemedicine application to address the need for medical attention of the disabled in the Correctional Institution for Women.
00:09 Here is my report.
00:11 The long-standing problems of prisons in the country are the lack of medical facilities, including doctors and nurses.
00:19 That's why telemedicine, which was a popular technology during the pandemic, was brought to the rescue.
00:24 Using a tablet, a person deprived of liberty or PDL can be consulted if they are suffering from a disease.
00:32 DOJ launched this application to the Correctional Institution for Women.
00:35 Some tech companies are happy with it.
00:37 They don't need additional facilities.
00:40 They are inside.
00:42 They are monitored by the nurse while they are telemedicine.
00:46 The tablets provided to the correctional institutions are free.
00:49 Consultation with doctors is free for a limited number of PDLs.
00:53 They can use the voucher donated.
00:55 It is also easy to use the telemedicine app.
00:58 Using the app, PDLs can be accessed by various specialists.
01:03 In the heart, breast, and cervical, those are the illnesses that are here, sir.
01:10 Are there any cases that are not detected because there is only one doctor and it would lead to more serious problems?
01:16 There are many cases like that, sir.
01:19 But we have outside referrals but that is not enough for 3,138 PDLs.
01:28 We started in the CIW. Why are we doing this in all of our facilities, in B Corp?
01:33 The telemedicine program started here in the Correctional Institution for Women
01:38 is not only for the benefit of the PDLs.
01:41 It is also a way to avoid the use of medical drugs to get out of jail.
01:47 Aside from the telemedicine program,
01:49 DOJ will also strengthen the livelihood program of PDLs in the Correctional Institution.
