Global Health insurance card

You may recall or already have an EEC medical card that give you and entitlement to supported costs for healthcare when visiting various countries.
THIS MAY NO LONGER valid and has been replaced by the UK GLOBAL HEALTH INSURANCE CARD which
​ I would encourage you to apply for.
The process is simple and you can do this by going to their web site.

ITS ALSO FREE so don't get caught up in a scam, also its not a replacement for travel insurance but its certainly helpful. The whole process is quick and Mrs Wright and I received ours in 8 days.
