Staying healthy while traveling · Central Asia

Mongolian "gastronomy" can hold some nasty surprises, and tourists are currently in quarantine over fears of the plague—a disease that's far from extinct. So, don’t eat marmots, especially raw... https://www.bluewin.ch/fr/infos/suisse/la-peste-bloque-des-suisses-en-mongolie-246709.html

Hi there,

I feel like a total newbie—I’ve never really thought about this before, beyond repatriation—what happens if I get seriously ill or injured abroad? Thankfully, it’s never happened to me.

But now I’d like to cover my bases.

Do you know of any insurance providers, or where to look and how to choose one, that covers potential hospitalization costs, specifically in Uzbekistan?

I don’t even know if this kind of coverage is tied to a specific destination, in Europe (France?), or if it’s arranged directly in the country... 🤪
