Covid Travel Insurance for Kyrgyzstan?

Post by ccc »

Can anyone recommend a Travel Insurance for Kyrgyzstan for a 30 days stay, which covers COVID-19?
Thanks in advance.

A lot depends on where you are from. In the UK, Battleface is effectively the only provider but even them are putting a 59-year age limit to their C-19 coverage.

What do you expect to get out of the insurance coverage? If you are in Kyrgyzstan and you need hospitalization to treat Covid during a peak in infections, you will be going up against locals who are fighting tooth and nail to get their parents/grandparents treated or on oxygen or attached to a respirator. The only way to queue jump ahead of a dying local whose family is using every possible tool to get their loved on treated is a large cash payment (larger than local families can come up with). And insurance companies pay hospitals in a way that is not so easily divided amongst the corrupt hospital staff.

If you mean insurance that includes medical evacuation, then that is different - and useful (to get out and into a hospital in Europe or wherever else).

So a mix of ethical and practical considerations...

Sorry, I’m looking not for me, just asking for someone from Afghanistan during 30 days stay in Kyrgyzstan. Battleface or World Nomads don‘t accept this country of residence. Any other idea?
