In the UK such a procedure might cost £12,000, whilst in India it would cost £5,000 and in Spain, £10,000.

In particular, with healthcare costs rising at average levels of 8%-9%, unexpected medical bills can wreck a move abroad, unless expatriates are properly covered. This survey suggests many more are at least intending to take out cover before they leave the UK, which is a significant step in the right direction in our view.” MediCare International offers four different levels of cover across two geographical options, worldwide and worldwide excluding the USA and the Caribbean.
