PEREZ GONZALEZ, Ernesto. New Executive and Judicial Expert Demands for Public Health in 2022 Cuban Penal Reform. Rev Cub Sal Públ [online]. 2023, vol.49, n.4 Epub 01-Dic-2023. ISSN 1561-3127.
Introduction:
During 2022, the reform of the Cuban penal system occurred, which materialized in three new basic laws: The Penal Code, Penal Procedures Law and Penal Execution Law. This reform demanded organizational responses from the Cuban Ministry of Public Health in those tasks for health units and judicial expert, especially the expansion of types of therapeutic penal coverage to addicts and those who cannot be held accountable.
Objective:
To identify the demands of the health system in the new criminal laws, especially for mental health.
Position:
Beginning with the previous proposals to the legislative reform and counselling, the need for new regulations for the interdependent expert and assistance activities of the health system that respond to the penal reform was timely envisioned. The early promotion of academic exchange between the penal law and psychiatry favored intersectoral synergy, advice to the legislative process and the development, in the short term, of solid regulatory proposals for the health system, in accordance with its objectives and structure. Methodologically, consultations with experts were appropriate.
Conclusions:
It is considered that the previous intentional relationship between health and criminal systems favors that the legislative proposals have more scientific basis beside an organizational, more efficient and synergistic response from the health system to the demands identified in new criminal laws.
