Public hospitals provide free emergency treatment to everyone. When you reach the emergency department, the authorities will provide you with a provisional health card in case you don't have one. Since the introduction of compulsory health insurance for all residents, all public hospitals accept health insurance cards, and bill insurance companies for emergency services.
