Attending college in India is a big step. In addition to finding out where you'll live while attending school, getting permission to be there (visa), and making sure you're ready to go back to class (academic schedule), many international students who attend Indian schools don't think about their healthcare until it's too late. 

Enrolling in a university abroad is an amazing experience. You can pack your luggage, receive your visa, and start the process of immersing yourself academically. But while it may be exciting to move to the Philippines, there is a very real concern with how different countries' health care systems work; medical emergencies will not take place at a time when it is convenient for you.

Your relocation of higher education to the United Arab Emirates will be an exciting experience. You have secured your university acceptance, gathered all required academic documents (transcripts), and prepared yourself to live in some of the safest, most rapidly innovating and globally connected cities in the world.

Finding and purchasing a reliable health insurance plan in South Sudan will be a very important and time-consuming process. Due to the country’s continued growth in developing its national medical infrastructures, many residents still travel across the border to receive specialty medical care. So whether you’re planning on attending school as an international student, relocating with your family (as a head of household), choosing the correct health insurance is crucial. Without adequate insurance, even a minor medical issue in Juba could quickly turn into a financial disaster.

Moving abroad to attend school is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Along with new academic opportunities and different cultures, it also comes with many other new challenges such as obtaining reliable foreign health insurance. For international students that are moving to Eritrea, planning their care will require extra time and effort. Many of the hospitals in both Asmara (the capital city) and surrounding cities and towns have limited capabilities when compared to those located in larger metropolitan areas around the world. Therefore, you should consider having health insurance that can support you in two ways. First, the plan must be able to provide coverage for regular doctor's office visits. Second, it must provide emergency assistance including evacuating you from a local hospital to a medical facility in your home country if needed.
