General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

A permanence d’accès aux soins de santé, or PASS, is a hospital unit for people who are ill and in precarious circumstances.

It brings together healthcare and social support. Problems with coverage or resources can be discussed alongside healthcare needs.

Depending on need, it facilitates access to hospital tests and specialties. It can also refer people to community professionals.

Ask the hospital how to contact its PASS and how access works before travelling. No local opening hours are guaranteed here.

Explain your healthcare need and the difficulties you face. Prepare documents already available to help the team understand your situation.

Public hospitals provide urgent care for people unable to document coverage. Do not delay urgent care to assemble paperwork.
