Every year, several students travel from Zimbabwe across the globe for higher education studies. They may face several challenges, especially as most of them are away from their home and family for a prolonged period for the first time. Being new, in a foreign land, at times having to learn a new language are among many adjustments that students have to make. This does not need to be further complicated by medical matters.
Having student travel insurance is essential for protection against any health or financial emergency in the foreign country. Here are a few things that are covered by this specialised travel insurance for students studying abroad:
Student travel insurance assists you in covering sudden and unplanned expenses due to medical emergencies like illness, hospitalisation or even fatalities. Moreover, it also provides coverage for dental emergencies or other related issues.
