Illness :
United Kingdom
No one wants to get sick while living abroad, but in the event that you do, what can be done?
If you're living in Europe, you should have health cover to handle these situtations, and in most cases, there will be no need to repatriate. However, in some small cases, you may feel you need to be closer to family/friends, or maybe the country you are in don't have the facilities to deal with your specific illness.
In these cases, what do you do?
Insurance
Make sure your insurance policies cover you for both medical care and repatriation.
When you have no insurance and need hospital care, the costs can be huge. This site gives you an idea of what you could be expecting:
