+ | ====== Health Insurance for Abroad ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | == You are planning a business trip or a holiday trip to China? == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Make sure that your health insurance covers the costs of medical treatment in China as well! Most health insurances are valid only within the UK and the countries of the European union. This means, during a trip in China you are __not protected__ and you will have to pay all medical treatments and medicine by yourself. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you catch a cold, this is surely no big issue—cough medicine costs less than £ 5 in China. But what happens if suddenly a severe illness occurs, such as a ischaemic stroke or a cardiac infarction (heart attack)? In such cases, you are not transportable and the medical care has to take place in China. By the way, the medical care in China is A+ and frequently better than that in Europe. An accident can lead to an “unwanted” prolongation of your stay in China as well. | ||
