Value-for-money cover with Global Health Essential

If you’re working on a budget, but still want to ensure you have cover for all the important things, our surprisingly comprehensive Global Health Essential Care and Essential Care Plus plans take care of all the essential health care costs.

With Global Health Essential you’re covered for hospitalisation and emergency medical evacuation as well as having a restricted level of out-patient cover. Your premiums are kept to a minimum by excluding certain ‘extras’ such as alternative medicine, psychiatric care and chronic conditions. Only available in US Dollar (or AE Dirham in the UAE), the plan provides full cover in over 180 countries but excludes or restricts cover in certain countries outside the specified area of cover
