Arrange your insurance
Those holding fellowships from the Dutch Government will be automatically covered by a health insurance for medical expenses, including legal liability ('third party'), fire and theft and luggage insurance, during the period of the course. If you are not sponsored by the Dutch Government, you must apply for health insurance coverage as mentioned above during your stay in The Netherlands, unless you can prove that you already have such insurance. Please apply before arrival. Note that insurance is compulsory.
The insurance covers certain expenses related to:
- medical treatment;
- personal accident;
- extra flights in case of emergency;
- legal liability for private persons.
- dentist (emergency treatment)
- fire and theft - luggage
Holders of fellowships or those of you who applied for the IPS insurance are covered from the time they fly to The Netherlands (in case we know the flight schedules for the duration of the course), until the day they leave. This insurance is valid World Wide. When you arrive you can read the regulations. Expenses not covered by this insurance have to be paid by the participants. If you are not sponsored by the Dutch Government, you can still apply for this insurance through Mr Ruud Frank (frank@ihs.nl).
