Medical card eligibility

    Hi,

    Does anyone know who I should contact about a medical card? I'm starting a postgrad course next week in Cork, and even though I'm getting paid (below minimum wage - it's a scholarship) I'll have lots of costs - rent, living expenses etc. I've got some health problems that require me to visit the doctor once or twice a month, and then medication is the DPS charge, so all together its between €150-200 a month, something I can't really afford - it's around a quarter of my income...

    So... will I be eligible for a medical card? And who should I contact in relation to it.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can get an application form & the qualifying criteria from your nearest health centre by phoning them and ask them to post them to you.
    Health centres are listed in the phone book or on www.hse.ie
