Staying healthy while you study is important. You can access a range of healthcare services on campus and in Salatiga.
UIN Salatiga has excellent services that can help you stay well. These include a Student Health service (Klinik Mitra Insani), professional counseling (Biro Tazkia), and other health-related facilities. You can also get in touch with our international student advisers if you have any questions about your health and wellbeing needs while you are studying.
Before you travel, make sure you check all your health needs first to best prepare for managing your health while studying in Salatiga. If you are on regular medication, you should bring prescription medicines with you when you travel.
COVID-19

Medical help
While you are in Salatiga, you may need healthcare at some time. The doctors, known as General Practitioners (GPs), are available on campus from Monday to Friday at 8 AM to 3 PM. Once enrolled, you can see a doctor or a nurse at the Campus I by bringing your student card. Our Student Health team provides a full range of services, including for mental and physical health.
After hours
If you need to see a doctor outside of business hours, you can go to the Salatiga City Hospital. It is open 24 hours. You don’t need to make an appointment before you go. You may need to wait some time to see a nurse or doctor, so take this into consideration.
Medical prescriptions
If you are given a prescription by your doctor in Salatiga, you can take this to any pharmacy to receive your medicine. There is a pharmacy conveniently located near Campus I.
Medical costs
As an international student, you are required to have appropriate medical and travel insurance to assist with your health costs, including mental health and wellbeing costs, while you are in Indonesia. However, there may be additional fees for specialist services, so it is important to find out if additional costs apply.
On campus, your consultation fee with Student Health is often covered automatically when you are enrolled. Conditions that cannot be covered include pre-existing medical conditions, contraception, genital health, sexual health, fertility, screening tests, and acne management.
If your consultation is not directly billable and is covered by your insurance, you need to make a claim to your insurance provider. If you have another type of insurance, you will have to pay upfront and arrange a claim with your insurer later. Otherwise, you may also join the Indonesian Healthcare Insurance Program (BPJS) once you have arrived in Indonesia.
