Medical Assistance

Health insurance, on-campus health services, and mid-programme medical support.

When a family sends an eighteen-year-old to another country for five years, the question behind every other question is: what happens if my child falls ill? It deserves a straight answer, not a brochure line. This page explains each layer of medical support around a Jadhav Edutech student — what is compulsory, what the university provides, and what we do when something serious happens.

Health insurance — compulsory, and arranged before departure

Student health insurance is not an optional extra: the countries we place students in require it as a condition of the student visa, so enrolment is handled inside the visa-and-arrival package we coordinate — it is done before your child flies, not scrambled after. Alongside it, travel insurance covers the outbound and return journeys. One honest note that matters: insurance policies are issued by insurers, not by us, and their terms — what is covered, what is excluded, how claims work — are set in the policy document. We help you enrol and we help you claim, but read the policy summary with your counsellor before departure so there are no surprises later, especially regarding any pre-existing condition.

Day-to-day care on campus

Most of what a student actually needs in five years is routine — a fever in winter, a stomach upset in the first months of new food, a sprain from football. Most partner universities operate an on-campus clinic for exactly this, and the campuses we work with have established Indian student communities, which matters more than families expect: seniors know which doctor speaks English, which pharmacy stocks what, and when something is worth escalating. Students should carry a small supply of their regular medications from India with the prescription, and declare anything ongoing to us before departure so the receiving side is prepared.

The layers, at a glance

Mandatory student health insurance for visa compliance — enrolled before departure

Travel insurance for outbound and return flights

On-campus clinic access at most partner universities for routine care

Local hospital coordination when treatment goes beyond the campus clinic

On-ground coordinators who stay in the loop with the family in India

When something serious happens

In a genuine emergency, the sequence is simple and rehearsed: the student or a friend contacts the on-ground coordinator at the university; the coordinator gets the student to the appropriate local hospital and stays with the case; and the family in India is contacted immediately and kept in the loop in real time — not after the fact. The insurance enrolment done at arrival is what the hospital paperwork runs on, which is exactly why we refuse to treat it as an optional formality. Parents are never left calling an international switchboard at 2 a.m.; the coordinator is the single number they need.

Medical support — common questions

Is health insurance mandatory for MBBS abroad?

Yes. The countries we place students in require student health insurance as a condition of the student visa, so enrolment is handled inside the visa-and-arrival package we coordinate — completed before departure, not after arrival.

What happens in a medical emergency during the programme?

The on-ground coordinator at the university takes over: getting the student to the appropriate local hospital, staying with the case, and keeping the family in India informed in real time. The family deals with one known contact, not a foreign hospital switchboard.

My child takes regular medication — what should we do?

Carry a reasonable supply from India along with the prescription, and tell your counsellor about any ongoing condition before departure so the receiving side is prepared. Discuss the condition against the insurance policy summary too — coverage terms for pre-existing conditions are set by the insurer.

Does the university have its own doctor?

Most partner universities operate an on-campus clinic for routine care — the everyday fevers, upsets and sprains that make up most of what a student needs. Anything beyond the clinic's scope is referred to a local hospital with our coordinator involved.
