Situations Where Our Services Are Valuable
- There is no travel insurance or international health care plan to pick up the cost.
- Insurance cover has been declined or restricted due to an uncovered illness or injury.
- The cost of medical treatment in the locality is expensive and mounting up day by day.
- The standard of medical treatment in the locality is inadequate, or the environment is unsupportive, e.g., language barriers and daily needs such as food/personal care.
- Depending on your contract, the insurer or travel medical assistance company may only pay for costs in a seat and not on a medical stretcher. This means that you need to stay longer in a place you do not want to be in.
