Every year, residents of the United Kingdom go on more than 56 million overseas
journeys. Travel across the world is now so common that it is easy to forget
the health risks, which can be involved, and the fact that very few countries
offer such easy access to medical facilities as Britain. If you fall ill or
have an accident when abroad, it could prove dangerous, even fatal. Obtaining
treatment can seem complicated to UK residents used to the National Health
Service. Unless you are properly prepared, it could turn out to be extremely
expensive.

|
|
|
| |
|
The level of emergency medical cover available to UK residents in countries
around the world varies greatly. There are over 40 more countries (Channel
Islands, the Isle of Man, Malta, Australia, New Zealand, certain Caribbean
Islands, and most republics of the former Soviet Union, including Russia)
around the world with which the United Kingdom has reciprocal health care
agreements that entitle you to emergency medical treatment in those countries.
With the rest of the world, this includes some of the most popular travel
destinations, such as Canada and the United States, India and the Far East, as
well as the whole of Africa and Latin America - the United Kingdom has no
health care agreements whatsoever. When you think about Travel Heath Insurance
think GoSure.com - policy includes Air Ambulance and Repatriation.
