A General Note to All Students on Health Insurance
With rising medical costs, sufficient health insurance is increasingly important in ensuring effective protection against financial loss as a result of an illness or accident. The magnitude of cover differs from person to person in accordance with one's needs and budget. For example, working in biological or chemical laboratories is inevitably accompanied by the attendant risk of illness or accidental injury.
Naturally, a good starting point in analysing individual needs for health insurance is to look at one's existing cover. On this site, you may find information regarding coverage and eligibility of schemes currently provided by the University. Those who wish to analyse their need for additional cover may find the following web links useful:
