Going on holiday or travelling for work is usually a great pleasure, but it is very important that you and your loved ones are as safe as possible when out of the country.

The need for a form of health insurance whilst you are travelling depends partly on where you are travelling to. If you are travelling as a UK resident to another European country, your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) will enable you to access for free medical care in 27 countries.
The European countries in which you are not covered by your EHIC card are:

The EHIC card is designed to give you either discounted or free access to state healthcare. Whilst your EHIC card will cover you for certain health issues, it should not be considered a replacement for travel insurance. You are only entitled to the healthcare that is offered to the locals in that country. For this reason, not everything is guaranteed to be discounted or free with an EHIC card. The best way to avoid the risk paying huge healthcare costs abroad is to buy a travel insurance policy, even when travelling in Europe.
The EHIC card, being purely a health insurance card, does not provide you with any other form of insurance such as contents cover or additional transport needs. Lost luggage and theft are common incidents among travellers; to be protected in such situations you must have a travel insurance policy which covers the cost of lost or stolen items.
If you are travelling outside of the EU your EHIC is not valid for any healthcare needed abroad. This means that you may have to pay large amounts of money for access to treatment or medicine. To avoid extortionate costs in the event of an emergency, it is vital that you buy a comprehensive travel insurance policy.
