International health insurance offers financial protection if you fall ill or have an accident while traveling outside your home country. It covers the costs of medical treatment, hospitalization and medically necessary repatriation to your home country. This travel insurance is particularly important as many domestic health insurance policies offer no or only limited cover abroad.
