If You Don’t Have a Health Card

If you don’t have a health card, don’t feel good or have an accident, go to the emergency room or call 112 (for free). Anyone with a health issue has the right to be treated in an emergency. Pregnant women, children, and young people under the age of 18 are entitled to medical follow-ups.
The initial process for obtaining a health card is free, whether it’s your first time or you need a replacement. You will be asked for certain documentation related to your administrative status. Ask for more information at the health center.
