For international students to get access to medical care, including a check-up, the first step is to ensure you are adequately insured. Some insurance policies will cover medical check-ups, while others won’t. You’ll then likely need to register with a local health centre such as a GP surgery, but it’s worth noting that some healthcare systems offer medical check-ups only to those with a certain age or medical history. You can also contact your insurer to find nearby private providers – it’s best to do this early since there may be waiting periods for preventative healthcare.
