In matters of extradition to a foreign State, for the purposes of assessing the ground for refusal related to the person’s health conditions under Article 705(2)(c-bis) of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure, the Court of Appeal may not confine itself to verifying whether the healthcare facilities in the requesting State are adequate to meet the extraditee’s therapeutic needs. It must also take into account the concrete adverse impact that the surrender procedure itself may have, including pathological complications associated with transfer abroad, as well as the need to ensure continuity of ongoing treatment (case concerning the failure to consider the health condition of a person suffering from HIV and in need of life-saving medication not available in Albanian prisons).
