Health Insurance

 

STUDENT

Students from outside the EU are insured in Poland by concluding a voluntary health insurance contract with the National Health Fund (Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia) and pay the health insurance premium themselves.
Students from outside the EU who have a Pole’s Card or a certificate of Polish origin, are going to be registered for health insurance by their university (provided that they do not have any other entitlement to compulsory health insurance).
You can read more about voluntary insurance here https://www.nfz.gov.pl/dla-pacjenta/bezpiecza-w-nfz/jak-sie-ubezpieczyc-dobrowole/
