What Edu-Afya Was:
- It was like a health insurance card for students in public high schools.
- It helped students get medical help when they needed it.
- It covered different things like seeing a doctor, staying in the hospital, dental and eye check-ups, and even emergency services like ambulances.
Who Could Use Edu-Afya:
- Any student in a public high school who was officially registered in a school computer system.
- The school principal made sure students got registered.
- Once registered, students got a special number that let them use the insurance.
How It Worked:
- When a student got sick or needed a doctor, they could use their special number to get help.
- It started working as soon as they joined high school, no waiting time.
- But when they finished high school, the insurance stopped.
What It Covered:
- It covered regular doctor visits, even specialist doctors if needed.
- If a student had to stay in the hospital, Edu-Afya paid for things like the room, medicines, and tests.
- It also helped with dental and eye check-ups, and even emergency services like ambulances.
Important Rules:
- It didn’t work if a student moved to a private school.
- Students had to show their special number or a letter from their principal to use it.
- It didn’t cover everything, like fancy cosmetic surgeries or some special eye treatments.
Extra Info:
- Students could check if their number was still working by sending a message with their number.
- They had to be honest and use only their own number, using someone else’s was not allowed and could get them in trouble.
Ending Edu-Afya:
- It stopped after high school ended, so students had to find other health insurance after that.
