Why is it important to take out insurance before traveling to Egypt?
Egypt is one of the most popular holiday destinations for Lithuanians looking for warmth and sun all year round. However, it is necessary to take out proper travel insurance before flying, as the healthcare system here works differently than in Lithuania. Even minor health problems can cost a lot of money, especially if you need private treatment or emergency care.
Egypt’s health system – what is important for travelers to know?
Healthcare in Egypt consists of two parts:
- Public hospitals – their services are mainly aimed at the local population. Foreigners are rarely admitted here, and the quality of treatment often does not reach European standards. Equipment, hygiene and service may be of a lower standard, so most travelers do not choose this option.
- Privačios klinikos ir ligoninės – tai pagrindinė vieta, kur gydosi turistai. Jose įranga modernesnė, personalas dažniausiai kalba angliškai, paslaugos greitesnės. Tačiau už kiekvieną paslaugą reikia mokėti iš anksto, o kainos gali būti didelės – ypač už skubią pagalbą, hospitalizaciją ar transportavimą į kitą šalį.
- Difference from Lithuania: While the healthcare system in Lithuania is based on mandatory health insurance and most services are free for residents, in Egypt, travelers without insurance have to pay for everything themselves. Therefore, even a simple visit to the doctor can cost several hundred euros.
What is included in travel insurance for Egypt?
