What should I do if I get sick?

If you get sick (e.g. fever, flu, diarrhea, sore throat etc.) you will need to write an email to the GP within opening hours. Always have your Hungarian health insurance card or EU HELFO card or PTE GENERALI card with you to access free acute treatment (otherwise one meeting with the doctor costs HUF 6000). If necessary, the GP may redirect you to a specialist for special treatment. Prescribed medicines can be bought at any pharmacies/drug stores with the prescription from the doctor.

With dental issues first go to Veress Endre utca 2. ('Egyesített Egészségügyi Intézmények, III.sz.
