While medication insurance coverage is not a legal requirement for travel to Egypt, it is highly recommended. Travel insurance with medical coverage ensures:
- You can afford and access replacement medication if your prescriptions are lost, stolen, or delayed.
- Unexpected medical care (including hospitalization, doctor visits, or medication for new illnesses) is covered.
- Specialty and brand-name medications may be hard to find or expensive without coverage.
Comprehensive travel health insurance gives you peace of mind, helps in emergencies, and is often required by tour operators. It’s wise to review your policy before traveling to ensure adequate medication and medical expense coverage for your needs.
