International students in China who fall ill during their study can receive medical treatment at the school's medical institutions. When necessary, the student will be referred by the school's medical institution to a designated hospital for treatment. To ensure the personal safety and medical needs of international students during their stay in China, they are required to purchase relevant commercial medical insurance. Currently, the vast majority of universities provide international students with relevant guidance and consultation services such as medical insurance purchase, claims, and medical treatment guidelines. It is recommended that international students in China determine the relevant insurance matters as early as possible and take good care of their own protection. According to relevant national regulations, international students who study in China for more than six months are required to purchase medical insurance in China. The school will provide students with relevant consultation and services for insurance purchase. (Source: Study in China
