Summer Holidays

This is the time of the year when families and students start traveling for fun. Not many are planning overseas trips but those who have plans are also making sure they get the international health insurance. This is the kind of insurance that will cover expenses in the event of a sickness, hospitalization, treatment or even death.

It sounds morbid to be thinking of death in a time when school’s out and the fun is just about to begin. But that’s the reality of travel – facing unknown risks, strange people and cultures, different food, and extreme adventures. Why travel without being prepared?

Look at what is going on around the world. Don’t use these events to stop you from living and enjoying your life but it will be a good idea to be aware and prepared.

July 11 saw an Indian trail derailed while traveling at a speed of 108 kilometers an hour. Sixty-eight people died including 2 Swedish nationals. A light plane a day later crashed in Manitoba, Canada. Fortunately, no one died and the injured pilot was flying solo.  Two days earlier, over 100 people dies from a plane crash in Russia, and in Chicago a drunk teenager who was also on drugs stole a car and ended up in an accident that killed a 911 dispatcher.

All these happened in 3 days. They are random and unexpected. Visitors and tourists need to be ready in case something happens to cause them injury. Overseas health insurance is one of the most effective ways to make sure you get treatment and the right kind of attention – the kind of attention that saves lives.
