The conditions of sick and wounded prisoners in the Ramleh Prison Clinic are deteriorating.

The Commission of Prisoners' Affairs and Ex-Prisoners reported on Monday that the health conditions of sick and wounded prisoners held in the Ramleh Prison Clinic are deteriorating, due to the lack of intensive medical follow-up for patients whose health conditions are classified as the most difficult among prisoners in Israeli jails.

The Commission explained, in a statement following its lawyer's visit to the prisoners' clinic, that the prisoners complained of the prison administration's procrastination in transferring sick and wounded patients to civilian hospitals for medical examinations and follow-ups, in addition to transferring them from civilian hospitals to the clinic before completing the necessary treatment.

The prisoners also complained about the cramped space in the "recreation" yard, the restrictions on clothing, the lack of supplies, and the poor quality and quantity of food provided. They explained that the prison administration provides the same type of food to all of them, without taking into account the list of permitted foods that doctors provide to patients.

The Commission noted that the suffering of sick prisoners is exacerbated by the prison administration's daily inspections of their rooms, without any regard for their health conditions.

It's worth noting that 18 sick prisoners are permanently housed in the Ramleh Prison Clinic. Many others have also been transferred to various prisons, despite their health conditions.
