Subscription travel-medical insurance built for long trips and remote work. Covers emergency treatment and evacuation, runs month to month rather than per trip, and can be started after you have already left home. City clinics handle ordinary problems well; anything serious realistically means evacuation to Europe. Desert trips, quad biking and camel treks are commonly excluded, so read that section closely.
