On December 10, International Human Rights Day, the Eurasian Movement for the Right to Health in Prisons announces the launch of an information campaign to draw attention to the problems of access to healthcare in prisons in the Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) region.
According to statistics, HIV prevalence among people in prison is five times higher than in the general adult population. One in four inmates has the hepatitis C virus, and tuberculosis is ten times more common among prisoners than among people at large. At the same time, people in prisons in the EECA region face significant barriers in accessing healthcare services. 

We are pleased to announce the upcoming supplementary elections to our organization’s Board of Directors. In the near future, a vote will take place to elect one new Board member, who will hold their position until September 2025.
Key Requirements for Candidates:
To participate in the supplementary elections, candidates must complete an application form. Please note that the deadline for submitting applications is August 23, 2024.

The Eurasian Movement for the Right to Health in Prisons is inviting consultants to support the development and implementation of national advocacy plans to promote the right to health in prisons.
Specialists based in Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan are eligible to apply.
The call is issued under the project “Promoting the Right to Health in Prisons of the EECA Region”, funded by the Robert Carr Fund.
