International Medical Insurance for a Worry-free Trip
I went to Singapore two years ago for a business conference. I brought my husband along since he hasn’t been to Singapore, and he is interested to do some gadget shopping and sightseeing. Our bags were packed and our tickets and passports were ready. Finally, the day came and we excitedly flew to Singapore.
After Singapore, we went to Genting, Malaysia to enjoy the cable cars and the roller coasters. It is the entertainment capital of Malaysia. Genting was located on top of a rugged mountain, and the weather was very cold. I started to have colds and high fever when we arrived. When I started to chill, my husband decided to bring me to the nearest hospital.
The diagnosis was bronchopneumonia and I have to be confined at the hospital for a week. It was a good thing that my husband got an international medical insurance before we left. What happened was an emergency and had he not thought of getting an insurance, we would have spent our savings on hospital bills and medications. We wouldn’t be able to use our regular health insurance back home because we were in a foreign country.
I already recovered, but because of that fateful experience, we made sure to that we have an international travel health insurance whenever we are going out of the country to keep our health and safety even when we are in another country.
