The Elderly to travel

Buy insurance for yourself, particularly when you are more than 70, not only for healthcare reasons, but for a number of others like safety and equality. For instance, some old persons, well into their late 60s and beyond, leave their luggage in all kinds of places.

You virtually get 5 claims a day where some old dear forgot to pick up her handbag as she left a restaurant in Majorca losing a £400 camera, £300 prescription classes, bracelet worth £290 and £300 worth of money behind.
So, avoid travelling alone if you have some serious diseases, such as heart attack, high blood pressure, or alzheimer, and the like for the old. Or else, go with at least a strong person as your guardian.

Remember to bring all the required medicines and have them on time right up to your prescription.

Always bring along a note of your family’s or guardian’s contacts (Name, Address, Tel, etc.).

Keep in hand the list of local foreign hospitals or clinics, or International SOS Vietnam to contact when in need.
