If you are a citizen of the European Union or a citizen of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, and you are entitled to social security in your country, you should apply for the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). The card makes visiting a state-run hospital, doctor's surgery or dental practice in European countries easier and means you will be treated in the same way as someone who lives in that country. You can obtain a card free of charge by contacting your local health insurance institution as each individual country is responsible for producing and distributing the card in its own territory. Take into account that the card does not cover private health care or repatriation costs. Visit the EHIC website to find out more: http://ehic.europa.eu If you are from outside the European Union you should check whether there is an agreement for healthcare between the social security of your country and of Spain. If there is such an agreement, you should submit the necessary documents in your country so that you can have free access to Spanish public healthcare. If your country has no healthcare agreement with the Spanish Social Security system, you should take out private insurance cover for the whole of your stay in Spain. UAB has designed together with ACE Europe and ÓMNIBUS Grupo Concentra an insurance for international students, researchers and professors of the university. There is also an insurance exclusively for repatriation available. All the students under 28 registered at the UAB have right to be covered under the UAB Educational Insurance scheme.
