Travel insurance in India

Private healthcare in India is in line with European standards, even if the costs are exorbitant and it is not so easy for a tourist to access it, and this is why it is advisable to take out travel insurance

India is one of the travellers' favorite destinations, due to its millenary culture, historic-artistic attractions, pristine landscapes, friendliness and helpfulness of local citizens, places of worship and original traditions. If you are planning a trip to India, in addition to planning your itinerary, booking your flight and accommodation, you will also need to take out a travel insurance policy.
Travel insurance for India is important to have continuous and complete protection throughout your stay, so you can spend a relaxing and peaceful holiday.

India has always been considered an exotic and particular destination, which all travelers want to reach at least once in their life, above all because there are millenary traditions not present in other Asian countries. India is a crossroads of cultures and this diversity is manifested in the many attractions present in the most important cities of the country: Mumbai, Agra and New Delhi and in small rural towns.

If you are about to leave for India, it must be emphasized that there are no compulsory vaccinations for tourists, but it is always advisable to get vaccinated for some pathologies, in order to avoid any type of risk:
typhus; hepatitis A and B; tuberculosis; poliomyelitis; diphtheria.

India is a developing country, consequently it is not possible to find the same hygienic-sanitary conditions present in Europe, therefore it is advisable to be careful when drinking water or tasting raw foods. The public health structures are quite efficient, but they are mainly frequented by the poorest sections of the population, becoming overcrowded and not always reliable in terms of hygiene standards.

Private healthcare is in line with European standards, even if the costs are exorbitant and it is not so easy for a tourist to access. Another problem regarding healthcare in India is that private clinics are only present in large urban centres, so if you are spending a holiday in wild and inaccessible places, it will be difficult to reach them.

Healthcare is essential because in India there are still some diseases such as dengue, zika, malaria and swine flu, it is also easy to contract gastroenteritis or traveler's diarrhea. Travel insurance in India can also protect you in case of lost luggage, theft and other types of accidents. Although India is a fairly peaceful state, thefts are the order of the day, without neglecting the accidents caused by the chaotic Indian traffic.
