Overview
It is important to have proper medical insurance when traveling to Germany. Medical expenses are quite high and you should be well prepared. You should carry your own supply of medicines as well. Medicines are expensive, therefore it is better that you bring any you may need beforehand.
The German medical system, though costly, is very efficient. Munich has many hospitals. Americans, British and Canadians can also contact their embassies for advice on a particular hospital. For dental problems, the dental clinic at the university is always open for emergencies. For less urgent cases doctors are available daily from 8.00 – 12.00 and from 12.30 – 15.00 Clinic Name: Klinik und Poliklinik für Kieferchirurgie der Universität München Address: Lindwurmstrasse 2A Tel: 089 -51602911
If you require medical help, the American, British, and Canadian embassies, as well as most hotels, keep a list of suggested English-speaking doctors. Doctors generally do speak English and pharmacies can deal with many minor complaints.
