Medical Card
A person seeking International Protection or under the Temporary Protection Directive is entitled to apply for and be assessed for a medical card. A medical card allows you to visit a doctor for free, access other health services and get medicines at a reduced price. Children aged over 16 must apply for a medical card separately.
You can apply online at www.mymedicalcard.ie or can download a medical card application form here .
