Abstract

Recently it is becoming socially controversy about Hansen's disease patient's registration system that was considered as the reasonable and best system in the past. Medically, it is naturally to make the patient's medical record(medial registration), including patient's detail profile, patient's family history, or other informations acquired form medical examination process for the clinical judgement and the best result of treatment. And that is necessary to government authorities that made the budget to provide the free medical and social service to Hansen's disease patients, but that is worry about the drain of personal information and the use of basic data to control. Therefore, we have to need to do enough examination between patient with leprologist, sociologist, government authorities and patients about this and advance this by reasonable system to everybody.
