Glossary term
EHIC/GHIC
Reference only — not medical advice. See disclaimer.
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and its successor for UK residents, the Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC), entitle the holder to access state-provided healthcare at reduced or no cost when travelling in certain countries, covering treatment of pre-existing conditions and emergencies to the same standard as local residents. They are not a substitute for comprehensive travel or medical tourism insurance, as they do not cover repatriation or private treatment costs.
