Travel Insurance
Protect Yourself!
Introduction
Insurance! - Do you really need It for
your stay at the
Beijing Olympics? The
generally held view is that "Yes" you do and the reasons why are many
and it isn't just the insurance companies that want to sell you their
products that are saying this - it is also travel experts and
governments around the
world. The Australian government on their smart traveller website offer 10
important tips for people going overseas and travel insurance is one of
them.
Be aware that a number of countries may offer free medical
care but
the
levels of service vary considerably from country to
country
- it's a good idea to check. For an in-depth look at the quality of
Chinese medicine please check the China
Today site.
The cover you'll need
There are lots of insurance companies around and they often
offers
slighly differing packages so it's a good idea to shop around.
Basically you should make sure you are covered for general
medical,
accidental injury, infectious diseases and repatriation back home if
required. This would be minimum cover for a trip into any third-world
country and probably China at this time.
Some activities are not covered unless you get custom-designed
cover. Dangerous activities that involve a high probability of death or
injury are good examples. STD's (eg STD/AIDS) often come under this
banner.
