HOW TO SEE A DOCTOR

It is strongly recommended to pick a General Practitioner (GP) soon after your arrival. This will save you a lot of trouble in case you have health issues, since the GP will be your gateway to any kind of healthcare services. The procedure to find your GP varies according to your type of insurance.

In case of scholarship holders (SH, SYCP):

Students having a scholarship provided by Hungary are entitled to have a social security card ("TAJ card"). If you have TAJ-card (the card for Hungary’s National Health Insurance Scheme) and you are publicly ensured and able to access public healthcare for free at the health care institutions in their district, not just emergency or urgent care.

Students with TAJ card (scholarship holders) can go to see their GP (háziorvos) or Dr. PÁL Krisztina, university doctor.
