Travel insurance for Dubai from India

Given this context, it is easy to understand that the standard of living and therefore the cost of healthcare is very, very high when compared to most of the world. With so many visitors coming from all over the world, it is a reality that some of them do fall ill ad required hospitalisation. As per the statistics that were pulled out by the Dubai Authorities, it was found that many Indians were arriving in Dubai (and other parts of UAE) without sufficient travel health insurance and in case they required hospitalisation, the Dubai Government was forced to bear their medical expenses. Based on this, on October 14, 2019 the Consulate General of Dubai issued a Travel Advisory informing all Indians visiting Dubai for Tourism or Visiting family and Friends must mandatorily have travel/health insurance for the period of their stay in Dubai. Infact the leading daily of the Middle East, Khaleej Times also carried an article on the same, which is self explanatory.
It is however very important that the traveller however realises how critical it is for insuring themselves however short the trip is and for whatever the reason they are travelling. It can be extremely costly for any type of medical treatment and unfortunately one realises it only when they do end up with a Medical emergency. These emergencies are covered under the Accident & Sickness Medical Coverage. Also tourists could face other non medical emergencies including Passport Loss, Baggage Delay/Loss, Trip Cancellation, Flight Delay, Personal Liability etc.
What is interesting to note is that the cost of such a medical/health insurance policy for travel to Dubai is not costly at all when you compare the premiums payable to the cost of the holiday that one would spend for 10 days in Dubai, nor when compared to the expenses one would incur if there was a medical emergency during the holiday.
