Health Insurance Is A Must If You Want To Study Abroad


Bangalore: While rupee rate depreciating and Indian economy is at task, many people still prefer foreign universities in U.S., U.K. and Australia to pursue their higher education. Meantime, there are things to consider before you start on an exciting journey, reports Preeti Kulkarni of Economic Times.

Buying a health insurance is the most essential thing to do, before you leave to foreign country. Indian students who are willing to continue their studies abroad will get round-the-clock insurance for both in-patient and out-patient treatments when they are abroad.

Ramesh Ramani, senior vice-president, consumer lines, Tata-AIG General Insurance says, “Unlike many universities who only cover them within the premises. The cover offered by some universities restricts students to a specific list of hospitals.” Though there are many universities who insist health insurance for their foreign students, they usually insist on buying from their home country.
