Doctor and dentist:
Students who are normally residents in Denmark must keep the doctor they have in the home area. If you get unwell or ill and need to see a doctor, one of the doctors in Nyborg can be consulted. Remember to have your Health Insurance Card with you.
Students who keep their registration address at home, are expected to see their dentists during holidays. Acute treatments, can be given in Nyborg. Students under the age of 18, who change their registration address to Nyborg, can use free dental care by Nyborg’s Municipal Dental Service.

The boarding school has a number of washing machines, which add allergy friendly soap automatically, and drying facilities available to the students. The payment is done via the mobile phone.
