The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) recommended that the commander of the Armed Forces hospital instruct subordinate medical officers to record patients' statements related to suicidal impulses in detail so that signs of suicide can be accurately identified.
According to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on the 31st, the petitioner, an active-duty service member, received psychiatric treatment at an Armed Forces hospital. In the process, although the psychiatrist confirmed the petitioner's memo to the effect that there were suicidal impulses, the doctor did not record it in the medical chart and also refused a request for treatment at a civilian hospital. The petitioner later attempted suicide more than twice by overdosing on medication.
The Armed Forces hospital said to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), "We confirmed part of the petitioner's statements related to suicidal impulses, but in our professional opinion, we determined that statements alone did not indicate a risk of suicide," adding, "If suicidal thoughts became more concrete or persisted during subsequent follow-up visits, we planned to take appropriate measures."
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) determined that suicide prevention measures were insufficient, considering that a military doctor's medical records are crucial as substantive reference data to prevent suicidal ideation among affiliated service members, yet the contents of self-reports related to suicidal impulses were omitted.
However, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) dismissed the petitioner's claim that their right to personality was violated by a high-handed attitude during treatment at the Armed Forces hospital, citing a lack of objective evidence.
