Medical services: Monday through Friday

The CNU Health Center conducts annual mandatory medical check-ups for most students, particularly those living in residence halls.

Medication, including painkillers and digestive pills, are available free of charge after a brief consultation with our on-staff physician from the CNU Health Center’s dispensary. A first-aid kit can also be borrowed by students and faculty members for university-related activities and events by filling out a request form at the CNU Health Center three days before the start of the loan period.

Health classes are available for people interested in quitting smoking. Classes involve measurement of individual blood pressure and CO level as well as information sessions on the dangers of smoking, how to quit smoking, and a pledge that all participants are asked to take.

The Public Health Service consists of a Sanatorium (for recovering patients), Inoculation Room (for vaccinations for Type B hepatitis, influenza, Hanta virus, etc.), Self-health Check-up Room (for patients to determine various health measurements using equipment without the assistance of a medical professional), and a Public Health Forum (an open space comprised of a library and audiovisual resources and equipment).

Certain medical expenses will be reimbursed to Chonnam National University students who have paid their campus medical insurance premiums, and are thereby members of the Student Medical Care Union and eligible for free medical care. Students on leave from classes for reasons other than illness, however, are not eligible to receive these medical benefits.

Medical care for which reimbursements may be made must be obtained either at the CNU Health Center or medical facilities equivalent to hospitals (small private clinics are excluded).

When medical service is provided at authorized medical facilities, 60% of the total costs will be reimbursed up to a total amount of 1 million won. For medical services received at the CNU Health Center, 80% of total costs will be reimbursed. Costs of elective or non-essential medical treatments will not be reimbursed.

In order to qualify for reimbursements, students are required to submit each of the following: (1) a Student Medical Expense Reimbursement Form, (2) valid receipts of all medical expenses (with itemized treatments), and (3) a copy of their guardians’ bank account book.
