Since the beginning of this month, doctors contracting with the General Directorate of Internal Security Forces to cover hospital services in Roumieh and Zahle prisons have been on strike, after negotiations between them and the central administration unit in the directorate reached a dead end due to the delay in paying their financial dues, and the erosion of their purchasing value in particular. It does not exceed 600 thousand pounds for each working day, and they are excluded from receiving additional salaries under the name of social assistance. Doctors confirm that what they receive is not enough to travel to prison buildings to provide health care to sick prisoners, in addition to the shortage of many medicines and the scarcity of basic medical equipment.
The strike comes after months of doctors taking warning steps, which amounted to one doctor shifting inside Roumieh prison, which holds more than 3,600 prisoners, noting that at least one doctor is supposed to rotate in each prison building.
The General Directorate of the Internal Security Forces confirms that it is looking for solutions because the matter cannot continue in this way, and points out that a number of World Health Organization doctors visit the prison periodically, which alleviates part of the crisis, whose greatest burden falls on prisoners who suffer from the loss of health care despite Diseases spread among them due to overcrowding. What makes matters worse is that they are no longer able to bring the cut-off medicines into the prison without a prescription issued by doctors, in addition to the inability to transfer any prisoner to the hospital without the presence of the doctor on duty, or at least to see him in case he suffers from an emergency.
