Healthcare Services

Uninsured undergraduate, postgraduate students, and PhD candidates are entitled to full medical, pharmaceutical, and hospital care within the National Health System (E.S.Y.), as per the circular issued by the Ministry of Education. The relevant expenses are covered by the National Organization for Healthcare Services Provision (E.O.P.Y.Y.).

Students must now access Public Health Facilities using their Social Security Number (AMKA), as the University has been unable to issue or renew health booklets for uninsured students since the academic year 2017-2018.
