Be well prepared. Get advice from travel health professionals:

Based on your destination and health status, health professionals at a specialized travel health clinic can determine what vaccinations you need against certain diseases.

They can also provide health advice for your stay and help you put together a complete first aid kit.

Travel assistance can help:

Whatever travel insurance you have purchased, contacting their travel assistance staff may be able to help you locate health care facilities at your destination.

Please note that due to the COVID-19 crisis, resources to assist people in medical emergencies abroad are very limited and the availability of these services cannot be guaranteed.

Emergency repatriation is only covered if it is considered necessary and safe by the travel assistance medical team and the attending physician at the destination.

What you need to know:

If you experience COVID-like symptoms or symptoms of any other medical issue, contact the Travel Assistance service of your travel insurance provider immediately. Travel Assistance staff will help you find a clinic where you can get tested or receive the care you need.

However, if you suffer from severe symptoms that require urgent attention, contact emergency services immediately. You can contact your Travel Assistance service once your situation has stabilized.
