In physical distress? How about dashing to the Ewha Health Service Center, located on the B1 floor of the Alumnae Center, which offers a variety of free health services for students and faculty. School affiliated hospitals are also another cost efficient solution.
All students who attend Ewha and have paid student insurance are welcome to receive simple checkups, free of charge, at the Health Service Center? Treatment Room. Submit your student ID card at the counter to receive treatment. If you need medication, the Health Center Pharmacy provides both prescribed and non-prescribed medication. Working hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, and are extended to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays during school semesters.
For toothaches, visit the Dental Clinic, which provides a variety of services from regular checkups, and scaling to treating cavities. Working hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and students may consult an orthodontist every other Tuesday between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. Students are required to make an appointment before visiting, and must pay extra for dental care.

The room also offers weight control services on Thursdays and Fridays during regular working hours, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Students may also receive checkups for chronic diseases.
