Summary/Abstract: The right of access to medical care is a fundamental human right that the State must guarantee to all persons, including those deprived of their liberty or detainee. In its case-law, the European Court of Human Rights accepts that each State must ensure that detainees are held in conditions compatible with respect for human dignity, and that, given the practical requirements of deprivation of liberty, their health and well-being are adequately ensured through necessary medical care. In this the States - parties to the European Convention on Human Rights, should bear in mind that the lack of adequate medical care for the above-mentioned group of persons may engage their responsibility under Article 3 of the Convention.
