To be eligible for medical insurance, the student must present his school ID, along with the accident insurance card, to the hospital.

Health Clinic Pass

Students are required to present a Health Clinic Pass signed by a teacher or administrator when entering the clinic, except in cases of emergency.

Accident Insurance

Each student is covered by accident insurance and cards are kept by the school nurse and are used only in case of accidents which may happen in school or in any school-related activities.
