OSHC Overseas Students Health Cover

In different countries and regions, the name of overseas student health insurance is slightly different.

Regardless of the name, the purpose of overseas student health insurance is to ensure that international students have the necessary medical coverage during their studies, avoid the risk of high medical bills due to health problems or accidents, and meet the country's visa and admission requirements.

Generally speaking, schools usually provide insurance plans. At the same time, students can also purchase affordable insurance that meets the school's requirements.
