Need a Doctor

In case of an emergency

No matter what type of insurance you have, in case of an emergency you have to:

• either call the ambulance at 104 (from a Hungarian network)
• or go to the ER: Clinical Center, Emergency Patient Care Independent Unit (SBO): 6725 Szeged, Semmelweis utca 6. Phone: +36 62/342 – 477 / 488 / 499

Please make sure to have your documents (passport, residence permit, a copy of student status certificate and a copy of the accommodation reporting form with you), and your insurance card(s) with you. It is possible that you will need to pay for the treatment, and get reimbursed later – depending on the type of your insurance.

In case of other medical issues

We strongly recommend to pick a General Practitioner (GP) soon after your arrival. This will save you a lot of trouble in case you have health issues, since the GP will be your gateway to any kind of healthcare services. The procedure to find your GP varies according to your type of insurance.
