Don’t worry! You are covered from day one.

Before you complete the 6-month residency requirement to qualify for National Health Insurance(NHI), the university has already enrolled you in a Medical Insurance Plan for International/Overseas Chinese Students (currently provided by Cathay Life Insurance) to cover your medical needs.
