With more Nigerians travelling abroad for business, education, and leisure, the role of travel health insurance in protecting against unexpected medical and financial shocks has become increasingly important. Industry experts note that having insurance coverage can make the difference between manageable travel disruptions and overwhelming out-of-pocket expenses.
In line with this, Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc has encouraged travellers to make travel health insurance a priority before embarking on international trips.
The company explained that its policy is designed to support travellers facing emergencies outside the country, offering coverage that includes medical treatment costs, accidental death benefits, and expenses related to returning home in critical situations.
It noted that policyholders can access healthcare services abroad without bearing the full financial burden at the point of need, while also benefiting from reimbursement options where applicable. The insurer added that the policy aligns with requirements for travel to Schengen destinations, making it suitable for those visiting parts of Europe.
According to the firm, travel insurance also serves as a financial safety net, helping individuals manage risks associated with illness or accidents that may occur during their stay overseas.
It further advised customers to provide accurate information during application, maintain active premium payments, and promptly report any incident that may lead to a claim.
The insurer stated that coverage is strictly tied to the duration specified in the insurance certificate issued to each traveller.
Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc emphasised that beyond meeting travel requirements, insurance coverage offers reassurance and stability, enabling individuals to focus on their journey with confidence despite uncertainties that may arise abroad.
