The UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) enables British citizens to access state healthcare in the EEA and select countries, mirroring local residentsâ access, potentially at no charge or a nominal fee. It has superseded the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), with a transition period for existing cards. Families must obtain individual cards for each member, which can be applied for online free of charge. Travel insurance remains crucial as GHIC coverage does not extend to all potential medical needs while abroad.
It is important to note that each family member requires a GHIC card, so parents will need to complete one for each child.
UK GHIC is not a replacement for travel insurance. You also need travel and medical insurance for the duration of your trip.
