Health insurance

All international students should arrange for 5 months of health insurance from an insurer in their own country; long-term students who plan to obtain a resident visa and an Alien Resident Visa through CJCU are required to be enrolled under CJCU’s name in Taiwan’s National Health Insurance system, one of the best health care systems in the world. Monthly payments (NT$749) are very reasonable considering the coverage (medical, dental, and copay of drug expenses).
 

Nursing Station

The University nursing station is on the first floor of the First Academic Building and is open from 8:10 to 17:10. The station dispenses over-the-counter pharmaceuticals and conducts simple health procedures, such as checks of body temperature and blood pressure.
 

Flu precautions

If your body temperature exceeds 37.5 C, do not attend class; seek medical attention. In Taiwan, it is considered courteous to wear a face mask if you have a cold and cough and plan to be in close proximity with others.
 

Health emergencies

In case of a health emergency, call 0910981575 (Office of International Affairs secretary), for assistance.
 

Dengue fever

In recent years, there have been a small number cases of dengue fever, a mosquitoborne disease, in the Kaohsiung and Tainan areas. Although the chances of contracting dengue fever in southern Taiwan are very low, students should keep their environs free of standing water.
