In a nation like India which has huge topographical regionthere might be contrasts in healthcare services needs inside the nation, crosswise over various areas. Jail is an exceptional setting for essential human services. All jail wellbeing administrations need to try to furnish detainees with human services proportional to that given in the general population. The purpose of this study was to make a list of proportion of occurring diseases in jail inmates of new modern jail, Faridkot and make an essential medicine list for the jail hospital. The study population consisted of 200 jail inmates attending OPD of jail hospital, out of which most common were generalized body ache (15%), insomnia (22%), acid peptic disease (15%), upper respiratory tract infection (15%), migraine (9%) and hypertension (5%). An essential list of medicines needed was prepared and maybe used by the jail hospital authorities in their dispensary for ensuring proper primary health care for the jail inmates.
