Expatriate Healthcare - Your Health In Safe Hands Wherever You Are

By Darlene Kaitlin

If you are planning to settle abroad, you need to also take a good look at your expat health insurance policy. Travelling overseas can be full of adventure and it can happen that you decide to pack your bags and move into a new place for the purpose of settlement outside own country. Since travelling abroad and starting to live there means coming across different climactic conditions and physical surroundings, you need to extra care of your health.

Adventure also means increased chances of events that may affect your health adversely at times. You may encounter a whole new set of issues that your body may take time to accommodate. And in case, any accidents occur and hospitalisation is required, the bills in a foreign place can come as a bad surprise.

Expat Medical Insurance News: Expats disappointed by Kuwait's Hala February

Expats living in Kuwait have expressed their disappointment at the Hala February shopping festival, with many claiming that it is "not worth the wait".

Speaking to Kuwait Times, Mercy, a Filipina expat who has lived in the Middle Eastern country for more than a decade, said there is no marked difference in the price of goods during the festival, which runs until February 23rd.

"I can shop anytime in the malls and anywhere in Kuwait and enjoy huge discounts. I don't know what the Hala festival is for. I cannot understand," she declared.

Meanwhile, Indian expat Margaret said the organisers should focus on creating a vibrant, exciting experience that would inspire shoppers to spend their cash.

The Kuwait Times has also recently alerted expats to iniquities in the country's healthcare system, with nationals afforded a more comprehensive level of care than expat workers.

Such limited access may encourage employees to obtain expat health insurance as a priority.

Maybe you are perfectly fit and healthy, never been ill apart from the odd hang over or two, and besides somewhere in your wallet there is a plastic card with some foreign writing that your boss gave you assuring you it covers you in the event of being sick! Or does it?

The vast majority of us enjoy good health everyday of our working lives and any thoughts of illness or injury seldom stir the back of our minds. The reality is that we are all vulnerable and the prospect of becoming ill or damaging limbs is not as unlikely as we would care to imagine. Visiting the busy urban areas of Asian cities we have all seen the motorcycles with 3 passengers weaving amongst the traffic, normally loaded with a few live chickens and a full size colour television and driven by the ten year old daughter with her left arm pressed against her ear listening to her friends gossip on the latest mobile phone-and then the inevitable coming together with another motorcycle or expatriate who thought the traffic lights actually meant something!
