Do you have a child aged 12-16?

The cost of emergency medical treatment will normally be covered by the health insurance.  If you do not have health insurance, you and your child will not be rejected by a doctor or hospital in a medical emergency, as doctors and hospitals are required to provide assistance in emergencies. The cost of the treatment must then be paid by yourself. For asylum seekers who do not have a health card, the social welfare offices cover the costs
