Counselors are available by appointment throughout the academic year. Appointments to see the counsellors can be made directly by telephone or through referrals. All counseling sessions are strictly confidential. The AUC Clinic is located on Youssef El Guindi Street, and has a physician on duty daily. University physicians might pay house visits to students in the Zamalek hostel during clinic hours.
All medicine is purchased at the student's expense.
The University physicians will also refer students to specialists should the need arise. Absences necessitated by health problems should be brought to the attention of the clinic for approval. It will in turn inform the student's professors. In the fall of 1989, the clinic added to its services the taking of blood samples for all non-Egyptian students and staff for testing by the ministry of Health. The Egyptian government through the Ministry of Health requires an HIV-test of all foreign students in Cairo after arrival.
