Do you need Travel Insurance for Kenya?

With a 20 minute visit to a health center in Kenya on average costing $8.59, you may be left thinking that healthcare is cheap in Kenya. However, this price doesn’t include drugs and diagnostics, hospital stay or repatriation. The bill you may receive for a medical emergency, if you don’t have comprehensive Travel Insurance in place, could be thousands of pounds.

For peace of mind, take out comprehensive travel insurance cover which includes:

• High levels of cover for medical bills – even those related to COVID-19 and for repatriation, should you need to be returned to the UK as a result of a medical problem
• Cancellation and curtailment cover in case an emergency prevents you from going on holiday or means you have to cut it short
• Baggage and Possessions Cover – should your items be lost, damaged or stolen while you’re travelling
