If you fall ill while studying abroad, start by contacting your university’s health services or international student office. They often have on-campus clinics or partnerships with local healthcare providers.
Check your health insurance policy to understand coverage and locate in-network doctors. Many insurers offer online directories or helplines for finding approved medical professionals.
For non-emergencies, use local doctor-finding apps or government health portals. In emergencies, dial the local equivalent of 911 or visit the nearest hospital. Always carry your insurance card and passport for identification when seeking medical care.
