Which health system per country?

Depending on the country where you are going to live, study or travel, your health cover may be different. The Global Health Security Index or GHS evaluates the health systems of nearly 200 countries around the world. Different evaluation criteria are used: medical infrastructure, political and environmental risks, fragility of the public health system, etc.

The map above shows the level of medical infrastructure which allows you to know if you will be able to be treated in your destination country for all health problems. If not, you will have to be repatriated to another country for certain pathologies. Health insurance abroad is essential for countries without adequate medical facilities. Insurance is also essential in other countries simply to cover your medical expenses since you are no longer in your home country where you have health cover. You can be ruined by a health problem in countries such as the USA, Canada, Singapore, China. Medical costs can be very high. A health insurance for abroad will cover your health costs. We are not talking about a consultation or a medicine, but about REAL health problems, such as infectious diseases, dreaded diseases or traumatology due to road or life accidents involving hospitalisation with health costs well over 50.000€ and much more.

Moving abroad

Why go and live abroad? Job opportunities, attractions of a country or culture, love, personal challenge or political reasons.
Where to go? The possibilities are endless. It should be noted that the most economically dynamic countries attract expatriates more easily. This is the case for many Asian countries: China, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand. It is true that difficulties in obtaining visas in some countries such as the United States or Japan can dampen the desire to emigrate. However, these countries remain popular destinations, rich in opportunities. Moreover, the African continent and Latin America are not left behind. Indeed, countries such as Senegal, Brazil or Chile are very frequent destinations that attract multinational companies.

You will be able to better understand the specifics of local health systems, and on the other hand to identify the essential criteria to be taken into account in the choice of your international expat insurance.
