Assistance from a general practitioner
What it covers
The service allows you to contact a doctor (also called a GP or family doctor) for medical assistance.
Who it’s for
Italian students from outside Bologna, EU and non-EU students (exchange students, international students).
How it works
- Italian citizens: can choose a temporary general practitioner for the duration of their studies, as an alternative to their doctor from their home town. To do so, they have to go to a CUP (Unified Booking Point) with an identity document and their health card.
- EU and non-EU citizens: if enrolled in the National Health Service they can register with a general practitioner for the duration of their enrolment. Alternatively, one can see a general practitioner through their health insurance policy or via other arrangements. Full information can be found at medical assistance for international students.
Other medical assistance services for international students
European Union (EU) or non-European Union (non-EU) students can find further information on dedicated services on the medical assistance for international students page.
