This is a true incident which occurred on 15th March 2019.Source: Khaleej Times news article
An expat had his parents visiting him in the UAE on a vacation. Unfortunately his father suffered from acute breathlessness which was because of severe lung infection and led to multiple organ failure. His father was hospitalized and this led to excessive treatment of giving antibiotics and a series of tests and diagnosis. In a country like Dubai, where the healthcare is sophisticated and expensive leading to a bill that crossed DH 100,000. The Indian expat lost all that he had saved in his life by paying the bills as he was unaware of the importance of travel health insurance. He had to borrow money from friends and relatives, took 2 months advance salary from his company he was working with. This was a nightmare for him. This family thought that were healthy and nothing would happen to them while travelling, so why should they buy international travel health insurance?
