International health insurance provides UAE expats with coverage for both emergency and routine healthcare in multiple countries, allowing access to private healthcare in the country of residence. Unlike regular health insurance plans that only offer medical coverage within UAE, international health insurance plans can cover you globally, including when you're traveling for work, leisure, or visiting your home country.

It's important to note that some countries require you to have health insurance for entry, so it's advisable to research and purchase an international health insurance plan before or upon arrival in the new country.

While travel insurance is suitable for short-term trips, international health insurance is tailored for those living abroad long-term and can provide more comprehensive coverage, including medical expenses within the GCC, Middle East, and Asia, with the option to include USA as well.
