Une personne de ma famille a eu un malaise grave, nous souhaitons la rapatrier en france pour les soins, mais la personne n'est pas assuré : n'a pas de carte bleu, et l'assurance habitation ne prends pas en charge le cas, etc...
Pouvez-vous me dire s'il est encore possible de prendre une assurance rapatriement ?
Si non, combien peut couter le rapatriement d'une personne malade et comment cela fonctionne ?
La personne est actuellement au maroc. Elle a eu une hemoragie cerebrale qui s'est stabilisee. Ils n'ont pas le materiel necessaire pour la soigner et nous on dit qu'il faut aller en europe.
Une compagnie aerienne peut prendre en charge un patient sans medecin? je pense egalement que la personne doit coyager allongé.
Situation extrêmement galère, d'abord il est impossible de prendre "après coup" une assurance rapatriement. Essayez de voir avec la Sécu et la mutuelle, et si elle est de nationalité française, avec le consulat. Mais je crains que vous soyiez obligés de prendre en charge des frais qui vont être élevés, car si la personne doit voyager allongée, ce n'est normalement pas dans un avion de ligne, et de toute façon ils refuseront le risque et la responsabilité de la faire voyager sans accompagnement médical.
"Stabilisée" ça peut vouloir dire beaucoup de choses. C'est aux médecins marocains de faire un certificat sur la façon dont cette personne peut voyager.
Si cette personne n’est pas assurée en France à la sécu inutile d’espérer une prise en compte de même qu’il sera impossible de prendre une assurance rapatriement surtout si elle est résidente au Maroc.
Il est possible de prendre un avion de ligne allonge car ils ont des brancards prévus mais c’est le prix de 3 sièges plus celui de l’accompagnant. il faudra probablement un certificat médical spécifiant que la personne doit voyager allongé mais que l’état de santé ne nécessite pas la présence d’un médecin ensuite il faut voir avec la compagnie choisie et étudier le cas avec eux.
Il est certain que la totalité sera à la charge du patient ce qui est logique puisque des assurances existent pour cela à condition de souscrire à temps et d’être résident en France
Si cette personne n’est pas assurée en France à la sécu inutile d’espérer une prise en compte de même qu’il sera impossible de prendre une assurance rapatriement surtout si elle est résidente au Maroc.
ça me paraissait tellement évident que je n'ai pas jugé utile de le préciser. Par ailleurs, si elle n'est pas de nationalité française ou résidente en France, la question du visa va aussi être difficile.
Mais bon on parle de "rapatriement", j'ai imaginé que la personne habite normalement en France.
Cette personne n' a aucun contrat d' assurance quel qu' il soit ? auto ? mutuelle ?
En regle general une garantie assistance est toujours commercialisée avec ce type de contrat sans que vous le sachiez forcement .
bon courage
Oui en fait je ne me suis pas bien exprimé car je voulais dire que si elle est couverte par la sécu elle aura au moins le remboursement des frais de soins, de plus il n’est pas évident de savoir si elle réside ou non au Maroc ce que moi j’avais cru comprendre.
Je pense qu'elle est marocaine non ?
A-t-elle au moins une sécurité sociale en France ?
Je crains que vous soyiez obligée de prendre en charge l'intégralité des coûts. Par ailleurs, sans mutuelle, une partie du traitement en France sera aussi à votre charge (je pense à une partie du forfait journalier, en hôpital, et à tout ce qui va être aides à domicile, ensuite) . Et malheureusement, il est trop tard pour en souscrire une. Essayez de voir avec l'assistante sociale, il se peut qu'il y ait des possibilités, mais vous n'aurez pas de renseignements pertinents sur le forum.
Si les enfants sont français, tentez le coup auprès du consulat, au moins pour avoir des infos.

Bonjour,
On ne peut pas souscrire à une assurance une fois malade... Ça serait trop facile...
Si vous voulez organiser un rapatriement... Trouvez un médecin... Louez un jet-privé... Organisez le transfert en ambulance vers un CH. Une fois arrivé en France si la personne n'est pas assurée comme j'ai compris, il faudra payer tout les soins...
Vous pouvez vous tourner vers le consulat qui peut organiser ça pour vous. Mais les frais seront à votre charge également, ou vous devrez rembourser ultérieurement.
A mon avis, ça tourne entre 15 000€ à 30 000€, rien que pour le rapatriement sanitaire.
(Ça me rappelle Envoyé Spécial cette semaine, un reportage sur les assurances voyage... Un français s'est vu rapatrier de Grèce par un ami infirmier après que son dossier ait été rejeté par l'assurance (cas de Grippe A), ses proches ont du faire un prêt pour louer un jet-privé...)
Elle est elle déclarée comme vivant chez ses enfants ?
Dans ce cas la michel a raison , elle doit etre couverte par l assistance de ses enfants . Si toutefois elle est déclarée en responsabilite civile . ( c est une formalité gratuite ) elle beneficie des memes garanties qu eux .
Comment est elle allée au maroc ? dans le titre de transport , il y a peut etre une assurance ?
Elle et son mari vivent chez un de leur enfant. J'essaie d'appeler toute les assurances qu'il a (habitation, cb, auto). Mais rien...elle doit etre fiscalement rattaché a son fils, or ses parents font leur declaration seul.
J'ai essayé de faire des devis et j'ai vu que c'était au alentour de 30000....
Je n' ai plus bcp d'espoir...
Bonsoir
Contactez les grosses sociétés d'assistance françaises (Europ Assistance, Mondial, ...) , ou leurs filiales au Maroc, pour exposer votre cas et obtenir un devis pour une prestation qui sera adaptée à l'état de la personne, qu'elles évalueront en contactant les médecins qui s'en occupent.
Evitez tout "bricolage" local qui vous coûtera plus cher et surtout ne sera pas sûr. De la même façon il est peu probable que le jet privé soit indispensable
Il est probable cependant que le besoin soit au minimum une civière sur un vol régulier plus un accompagnement par médecin ou infirmière, plus l'organisation des transferts ambulance depuis et vers les hôpitaux. Tout cela a un coût...
Hi,
I’m planning a trip to Namibia for 3 weeks in November: should I take malaria prophylaxis, which medication, when to take it, and are there any side effects?
At the end of my trip, I’ll spend 5 days up north near the Angolan border and in Etosha National Park.
Thanks for sharing your travel tips and advice!

I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
