Health / Travel Insurance
Health insurance is very often one of the last items on a traveller's checklist, yet it is perhaps the most important of all.
People from Britain tend to forget that they may have to pay thousands of pounds in medical costs if they fall ill or have an accident outside this country. This is true even in countries, such as EEA states, with which the United Kingdom has mutual health care agreements because, even in such cases, the arrangements may not cover all the expenses you can incur. And the cost of bringing a person back to the UK, in the event of illness or death, is never covered even under the reciprocal arrangements.
Before you travel, always arrange health insurance adequate for your destination.
Talk to your travel agent, insurance company or bank.
