One of my friends, invited his parents to visit him in Canada and his father got cardiac arrest at the airport.
He got the emergency medical support from the airport and being admitted to the hospital.
Imagine a situation, when your friend calls you to check the possibility of chartered plane from Canada to India because it was not possible to bring back his father through regular airline.
The cost of chartered plane plus treatment in India was way less than getting the same treatment in Canada without insurance.
It's a real story. And there are bigger horror stories that you can find online.
Don't travel at the foreign location without travel insurance.
