Student Services and Opportunities

Healthcare

1) Student Medical and Dental Scheme

Full-time students can enjoy the health services such as the Student Medical Benefit Scheme and Student Dental Scheme provided by the University. Health campaigns such as talks on health education and vaccination programmes will be organised by the Office of Student Affairs regularly to educate students on the importance of healthcare and disease prevention.

The Student Medical Benefits Scheme includes general practitioner consultations and prescriptions. It covers simple laboratory tests and x-rays when presented with a GP’s referral letter. Full-time students can pay a nominal fee (HKD20) for each consultation by presenting their Lingnan University Student ID card. The Dental Scheme covers basic dental treatment at nominal fees for full-time students. Other forms of dental treatments and services will also be provided at a preferential rate.

The nearest clinic is at the Fu Tai Shopping Centre (10 minutes' walk from the campus)

2) Insurance

The hospital bills, medical and accident insurance are NOT covered by the Student Medical Benefits Scheme. Non-local students are strongly recommended to buy their own insurance covering travel, personal accident, medical expenses, hospitalization, etc. in their hometowns/ home countries before they arriving Hong Kong for better protection.

Non-local students will be eligible to use the government medical services or hospital treatment (in- and out-patient services) in Hong Kong at local rates if they present their (valid) Hong Kong Identity Card. The nearest public hospital is Tuen Mun Hospital.

 

4) Chronic Illnesses

If non-local students have regular prescription needs, they should bring an ample supply of medicine with them as it may not be available in Hong Kong. We suggest students ask their doctor for the name of the medicine (including its chemical/generic name) and bring a copy of their prescription with them.
