You can find information about insurers and the insurance they offer that meets Polish law requirements at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.
If you are an EU or EFTA citizen
To obtain basic medical care, go to a doctor who has signed an agreement with the NFZ and show the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which you must take with you to Poland.
You can find more about the Card and the health treatment of citizens of EU and EFTA countries in Poland on the website of the National Health Fund.
If you do not have the right to insurance in your country of residence, the University may register you for insurance under the rules applicable to Polish students.
You can find more information at the Student Affairs Department dss(at)agh.edu.pl.
If you are a non-EU or non-EFTA citizen
You have to pay for medical care.
Thanks to an appropriate medical insurance policy, e.g. required to obtain a visa, you can settle the costs of medical care with the insurance company.
You can also get insured with the NFZ and pay your own health insurance fees/contributions. To sign the contract, contact the NFZ in Krakow.
If you are a non-EU or non-EFTA citizen and have a Card of the Pole (Karta Polaka) or a decision on Polish descent issued by a Polish embassy/consulate, the AGH University may pay fees/contribution to the NFZ on your behalf.
In this case:
The decision on Polish origin is a different document than the decision on issuing the Card of the Pole (Karta Polaka).
