It was my dream to study in Germany. I love German culture and the healthcare system is great. One Saturday evening, I had a bad stomach ache and called 116 117. After just 20 minutes, a doctor came to my home to help me. I didn’t have to pay anything – DAK took care of all that for me.

I was really excited about starting my business administration course in Germany, but stupidly I managed to break my leg in a skateboarding accident just one week after moving here. All the doctors that helped me were great and I didn’t have to pay a penny for my treatments.
