Medical Insurance for South Africans
 

Hi all, I have searched the forum and cant seem info to help me :)

I am currently working in UAE and have medical insurance here. However when I leave in July, for my year long expedition around Africa my insurance will be cancelled. I am originally a South African but have not lived there for 10 years and have no address there!

So basically I am looking for a medical insurance that will cover a South African for a year and in 39 countries.

I have already looked into
BUPA- $US1500- not bad if repatriated back to SA I dont have insurance there.
SOS INternational= US$800- no mediacal hospitilisation just evacuation

Any other suggestions?

Nomad is underwritten by Bupa as well.

Thanks for help!

there are a lot of sticky threads about particular nationalities
 

Strangely, this sticky thread hasn't moved on with too much information since it started.

There is another thread with input, and discussion, by South Africans which might add some value:-
