During a trip abroad can happen from various accidents that affect the health or even life threatening. In such situations, immediate access to health care is essential, but it involves costs which are usually very high (one day of inpatient care in most countries costs between 500 and 1500 dollars, and especially air, with Air ambulance can vary between 20,000 and 250,000 dollars).
