When planning a long haul holiday or business trip to China it is important that you have sufficient travel insurance in the case of any medical or emergency situation. Over 570,000 British nationals visit mainland China each year for a variety of reasons spanning from adventurous trips such as white water rafting and mountain climbing, to visiting the Great Wall of China or attending a business conference.
China is an exciting country to visit but it is important to be mindful of the potentially harmful repercussions that can occur particularly when travelling in the hot season, polluted environments of the major urban & industrialised areas and the extreme altitudes in some mountainous areas. Atmospheres which are known to aggravate bronchial, sinus or asthma conditions; children, the elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions can be especially affected. So, even the healthiest of travellers arriving in China fully vaccinated from diseases such as the increasingly prevalent Dengue fever, which can be passed on via a mosquito bite, can still become unwell unexpectedly due to these atmospheric/weather conditions, the fact that tap water in China is generally not safe to drink or for some other unforeseen occurrence.
Healthcare is not provided free of charge in China and medical bills can be high; medical evacuation from China is particularly expensive. So, it would be wise to invest in that invaluable peace of mind and arrange sufficient travel insurance before you leave the country. Should you find yourself in any unfortunate scenario whereby you require medical care or assistance whilst in China, it will be reassuring to know that you will be well looked after under your Travel Insurance for China policy.
