HEALTH INSURANCE

J. Selye University does not provide insurance coverage for foreign incoming exchange students or staff members. We recommend to mobility participants to get their own health insurance valid for their entire stay in Slovakia before their arrival to Slovakia. Except European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) we also recommend to have a private traveler’s insurance covering health care costs, repatriation and medical evacuation, personal property, and third-party liability for the duration of their exchange period at J. Selye University in Slovakia.
