Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Limited has launched a new Student Travel Plan under TravelAssure product. In a statement, the insurer said this comprehensive health insurance program is specifically designed to cater to the needs of students who are embarking on higher studies abroad. 

The plan offers coverage for all necessary conditions mandated by universities, thus giving students the license to make the most of their stay abroad, without worrying about any unpleasant incident.

Studying abroad is an enriching experience that opens doors to countless opportunities. However, it also brings with it unique challenges, including the need for reliable healthcare coverage in a foreign country. 

The plan can be taken by any student going abroad for an undergraduate program, a postgraduate degree, or a research fellowship. The plan will help students focus on their studies without worrying about medical expenses or unexpected health issues.

The plan also covers travel-related benefits including delay/loss of baggage, trip delay, trip interruption/ cancellation, loss of passport/ driving license, and loss of laptop/ mobile/ camera. The plan is available for students based in India or any other foreign country, offering a seamless and reliable insurance solution tailored to their specific needs.

“Whenever a child goes abroad for higher studies, it brings a mixed bag of feelings for the parents. While they are proud of their children for having secured admission in a reputed college abroad, at the same they are anxious about how she/he will manage everything alone in a foreign land,” said Bhabatosh Mishra, Director – Underwriting, Products and Claims, Niva Bupa Health Insurance.”
