A true life incident that happened in Dubai on March 15th 2019

On March 14th 2019, Indian parents travelled to Dubai to visit their son. Even though overseas travel involves health risks, this couple sadly did not take it up seriously. Unfortunately the father of the Indian expat became breathless the moment he arrived in Dubai. He became critical the following morning and was admitted to the hospital. The father was diagnosed with severe lung infection resulting in gangrene in his left arm leading to amputation. A series of medical tests was conducted and treatment was given leading to huge medical bills up to 100,000 Dh. This caused huge financial trauma to the Indian expatriate as they didn’t have travel insurance. He in fact had to take money from friends, relatives and also two months advance salary from his company. All his life savings was over by now by paying the bills. It was very kind of the hospital to waive a few bills. All this could have been avoided if the Indian couple had bought adequate overseas travel insurance for his senior citizen parents visiting Dubai. Indian international travelers must be aware of the importance of overseas travel insurance as you would not know what emergency could happen while overseas, it is advisable to buy good travel insurance for travel abroad. TATA AIG’s travelguard insurance works very well for Indians traveling to Dubai and is one of the popular overseas travel insurance plans for Indians.
