The Spanish National Health System covers medical assistance for all EU citizens and those coming from countries with a bilateral agreement with Spain. A photocopy of the European Health Insurance Card, which will entitle E U students to medical care and partial coverage of the costs of medicines, is a compulsory requirement for registration.

 

Foreign students from countries not included in these agreements must take out a private insurance policy, as must those students who, for whatever reasons, are not covered by the National Health System of their country, despite being from a EU country. No student will be admitted without submitting written proof of medical insurance valid for the whole exchange period.

 

If students need to make use of this service during their stay, they should go to the nearest Doctor’s Surgery or Health Centre with their passport and the European Health Insurance Card or a copy of the E-128 form.
