What health insurance cover do you need?

17 March, 2017 by Expat Living 3 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/what-health-insurance-cover-do-you-need/

There are many things to consider when you move as an expat to set up a life for your family in a new place. One of the most vital is health insurance, especially as expat salary packages are not as comprehensive as they used to be so it is vital to make sure you and your family are adequately covered in the event of sickness, pregnancy or medical emergencies. Here are a few options of insurers who can offer specialised assistance.
