MEDICAL CARE

Every student must have medical insurance during their stay at the University of Alicante, and it is, besides, the students responsibility to provide themselves with this medical cover.

In order to obtain medical care, students belonging to the countries within the European Union, the Economic European Area and Switzerland, can apply for the European Health Card in their country of origin (EHC). The forms E-111 and E-128, for temporary stays, were replaced by the EHC the first of June 2004. For further information, you can consult the Erasmus Office at your home Institution.

The EHC is individual and certifies the right of his/her holder to receive medical care in a public center during his/her stay in any of the countries previously mentioned. Foreign and native people will receive medical care on equal terms.

On the other hand, those students who can´t get the EHC, must provide themselves with private health insurance.

Once in Alicante, students that have the EHC must register with the Department of Health and Social Security near their home address in Alicante. Following you'll find the Health Centres existing in the city of Alicante:
