A case of psychiatric admission from an emergency room due to suicide attempt, who was unregistered and had no social insurance

Abstract

In case of the lack of access to family registers and resident registers, it is difficult to prove the identity of the person or to confirm the relationship of family members, making it difficult to obtain insurance cards and other social administrative services for the stateless. In psychiatric treatment, the existence of a consenting party for Hospitalization for Medical Care and Protection is not legally recognized, so when hospitalization is necessary, it is necessary to consider Hospitalization for Medical Care and Protection based on the consent of the mayor of the municipality or another form of hospitalization. In this report, we describe a rare case in which a patient was transferred from an emergency room to a psychiatric ward due to a suicide attempt, and was not covered by social insurance or other social security.
