Planning to study abroad? Although this stay is sure to be rich in new experiences, life goes on and health issues can happen anywhere at any time.

Such a policy covers hospitalization, emergency medical care and repatriation, among other things. It’s best to be prepared for the unexpected as these costs are usually exorbitant.
