330			_aThis report provides an overview of the performance of prison health systems in the WHO European Region. It contains 2020 data obtained through a survey collected from 36 countries, where a total of 613 497 people were deprived of their liberty. In most of these countries, responsibility for delivering prison health care was shared between the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Justice/the Interior. Preventive services, such as vaccines, were universally offered for COVID-19 in all Member States, even though deficiencies still persisted in access to vaccination for other diseases such as hepatitis B. The response implemented for COVID-19 was good, except when people were transitioning into the community. Continuity of care was an area needing investment, with only around half of Member States ensuring access to community health services. The most prevalent condition was mental health disorders, but the ratio of psychiatrists to people in prison did not ensure equity of care and access to treatment was suboptimal. Harm minimization focused mostly on access to drug use treatment and less on safe injecting or tattooing practices. Access to hepatitis C (‎HCV)‎ treatment was not on track to achieve HCV elimination and needs urgent attention. The most common cause of death in prisons was suicide, followed by COVID-19 and drug overdose. Overcrowding was reported in 20% of Member States. Even though Member States are improving their capacity to provide disaggregated data, further investment is needed to increase capacity to provide morbidity and health behaviour data.
