As of 1 January 2023, the Slovak parliament has approved an amendment to the Act on Health Insurance, regulating the public healthcare insurance for general healthcare provision in Slovakia.

Scholarship holders within national/EU scholarship programmes or a programme that is part of an international agreement, residing on the territory of Slovakia are entitled to full coverage within the public health insurance, provided that they are awarded the scholarship for a period of more than one month.

More information and a list of eligible scholarship programmes can be found on the website of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic.
