In case of a medical emergency abroad, immediately contact the local emergency number, which varies by country (e.g., 112 in the EU, 911 in the US). Keep your insurance card and passport accessible.
Notify your program coordinator or university health services—they can assist with local healthcare navigation. If covered by travel insurance, contact the provider for approved hospitals and claims procedures.
For non-life-threatening issues, visit a nearby clinic or contact your embassy for doctor recommendations. Always carry essential medications and copies of prescriptions to avoid delays in treatment.
