Vaccines and safety in Sweden
Vaccines and local diseases
Firstly, no vaccinations are required for visitors. The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) certifies your entitlement to health insurance in Europe. During a temporary stay in a member state of the European Union, it enables you to benefit from coverage for medically necessary care. It is therefore advisable to take out supplementary insurance.
Safety in Sweden
Although Sweden remains one of the safest countries in Europe, there has been an increase in violence linked to drug trafficking and organized crime. We advise you to be vigilant and avoid going to certain outlying areas of major cities at night. In addition, take note of the recommendations issued by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs before you leave.
Health and repatriation insurance in Sweden
Why take out international health insurance when traveling or living in Sweden? Quite simply because healthcare costs can quickly reach very high levels abroad. Repatriation cover is also an essential criterion. In the event of a serious accident, you may need to arrange medical repatriation to the nearest medical center or to your country of residence. Depending on where you are at the time of the accident and the medical prognosis, you may need to charter a helicopter or medical airplane.
Mondassur can help you choose your international health insurance by helping you compare the different offers on the market. Depending on your profile, we can offer you different travel insurance, international student insurance and expatriate insurance packages.
