Castro, with the appropriate treatment, by means of health public services, for as long as they need it and including the medicines (operative paragraph thirteen) 42. The State reported that the “beneficiaries [were provided] with the means to access health care coverage offered by the Integral Health System (SIS for its acronym in Spanish),” which is a service offered to the entire population of the country, which includes programs on psychological care, "for which one has to personally sign-up.” In this regard, it noted that “among the benefits of the [Essential Plan for Health Insurance] [to which the victims in Anzualdo Castro were added,] there is a set of conditions, interventions and services that can be provided in all public and private health establishments based on the complexity of each case.” 43. The representatives of the victims stated that the Integral Health System does not meet the requirements to be considered a measure of reparation, because it is a service that is open to the general public, to which the State cannot claim that the SIS can effectively be implemented with this measure. They also indicated that the State has not even approached them in order to provide access to medical and psychological care. Moreover, they stated that the information provided by the State “made it clear that, to date, after more than 3 years since the judgment was issued, Kenneth Anzualdo’s next-of-kin have not received the ordered medical and psychological care" to which it is clear “that the health care provided by the State in its report is not aimed at providing reparation for the damage caused to the victims of this case for the violations committed against them.” 44. The Court notes that in the Judgment it stated that health care should be provided free of charge and immediately, taking into consideration the health of each of the beneficiaries, to which it shall previously conduct the respective physical and psychological evaluation. Moreover, the treatment must be provided for as long as they need it and must include the medicines they may eventually require. 27 However, from the information provided, the Court will only assess the State’s affirmation that it will make the health services available through SIS, for which, each person should register. 45. It is important to reiterate that in addition to the measures taken under the general health care system, it is necessary that the State provide specific and particularized attention to victims. 28 In this sense, the Court has noted that the reparation measures to which the victims of human rights violations are entitled cannot be confused, due to the specific harm caused by the violation. 29 For this reason, the Court finds that the victims must receive preferential treatment with respect to the steps they have to take in order to receive medical care in public hospitals. 30 46. It is therefore necessary that the State, without delay, carry out the physical and psychological evaluation of the beneficiaries of this measure in order to identify their 27 Case of Anzualdo Castro, supra, para. 203. 28 Cf.
