Make sure you take out appropriate medical insurance to cover any medical expenses that may occur while you are abroad. You should also make sure you take the appropriate medical precautions (e.g. vaccinations etc.) before your departure. Check with your doctor and the consulate of the country where you are going if you are unsure about what you need.
Be sure to take all of your medical insurance documents with you, as most institutions abroad will want you to provide evidence that you have adequate medical cover. Please note that certain institutions have their own health insurance plan which exchange students are required to take out.
Apart from the insurance that covers you during your stay at the host institution, you must also obtain comprehensive travel insurance that will cover you until you arrive at your host institution and for any travel you decide to do at the end of your exchange.
