What should I do if I get sick?

If you get sick (e.g. fever, flu, diarrhea, sore throat etc.) you will need to go to the university’s general practicioner (GP) within opening hours. Always have your Hungarian health insurance card with you to access free treatment (otherwise one meeting with the doctor costs HUF 2500). 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. Rendelőintézet') with your Hungarian buddy and find out which dental district you belong to, then visit your designated dentist. Or visit the following website (in Hungarian):

Basic treatments are for free with your ’TAJ’ card and your address card, but more complex dental treatments are to be paid by the patient.

If you are in an emergency situation call 112, the toll free general emergency number in the European Union (Ambulance, Police, Fire Department).
