Health Care and Insurance

The students are expected to have health insurance from their home countries that covers their stay abroad. Nevertheless, the Czech Republic normally recognizes all health insurance valid within the EU; you should check with your insurance company whether this concerns your particular insurance as well. You should also take out additional insurance covering hospital care, if necessary. There are no vaccination requirements.
