Facing a medical emergency abroad can be daunting, especially if you don’t have travel insurance. Without coverage, hospital bills can escalate rapidly, with ICU beds costing over $3,500 per day in some countries. In extreme cases, hospitals may even withdraw care if payments stop. Repatriation costs vary, with air ambulances ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of pounds. At MET Medical, we provide free advice on repatriation options, ensuring you find the safest and most cost-effective way home. Don’t let an unexpected medical emergency turn into a financial crisis—know your options before you travel.

Are you going on holiday? Make sure you check your travel insurance covers you for the activities you are doing or you could be in for a bill that could cost thousands of pounds in medical fees.
