The Unit provides a wide range of services to the inmates/ remandees and children in custody. In the last two years, a staff clinic was established at the Tamarind Farm Adult Correctional Centre where staff members are seen by appointment. Services provided include antenatal and postnatal care, dental, ophthalmology screening, mental health services including Psychiatric evaluations and Psychological assessments. Daily Curative clinics are facilitated in the adult institutions.  Drug testing and HIV testing are also offered. Recently a Dietician joined the team, and he will assist with meal planning as well as assisting inmates and staff to attain optimal body weights.

The Medical Unit has a pharmacy through which all medications prescribed for the inmates/reminders and children are dispensed.
