Medical Aid:
All international students are required to have South African medical cover for the duration of their study at Rhodes University.
-
Proof of cover will have to be provided when applying for your visa BEFORE your arrival in South Africa.
-
It is legally required by the Government that international students have medical cover with a medical scheme registered in terms of the Medical Schemes Act 131 (1998).
-
Rhodes University has appointed ABSA Health Care Consultants to assist international students with all queries relating to appropriate medical cover.
-
If you are already a member of another Medical Aid, even one that is Internationally recognised, please be advised that you are still liable to take out a South African Medical Cover in collaboration with our ABSA Health Care Consultants.
