The Correctional System Medical Services Coordinator reported, “The prison has medicine for dealing with infectious problems as well as oral medications for treating diabetes, osteomyelitis, and arterial hypertension. However, inmate Chinchilla Sandoval requires subcutaneous insulin for her diabetic problem that is causing all the metabolic ailments from which she suffers, including chronic kidney failure, for which the prison lacks the necessary equipment to provide care.” The report said, “The Center does not have specialized hospital medical equipment to deal with crises of that magnitude. ... It does (sic) have adequate facilities for the internment of the inmate which are managed by the prison's hospital area” and that “it does not have adequate orthopedic equipment.” Finally, the report said that “Ms. Chinchilla Sandoval's condition has forced us to refer her regularly to hospitals because at given times she requires specialized care.”275 271 Appendix 2.
