Organ Transplants Travel Insurance
Organ transplants can allow a new lease of life to travel, with confidence.
An organ transplant is an operation that places a healthy organ from one person to another. The organs are donated to someone with damaged organs that need to be replaced. The procedure may save a person’s life, or significantly improve their health and quality of life.
If you have had a kidney transplant, heart transplant or even a transplant involving more than one major organ, it may have been some time since you were able to travel abroad for a holiday. Everyone deserves a holiday whether it is close to home in the UK, a sunny beach holiday in Europe or even a road trip through the American states. However travelling abroad can be tricky if you’re an organ transplant patient, especially when it comes to insurance and you may think you won’t be able to get the cover you need.
This is where Free Spirit comes in. While most travel insurers will decline to offer cover to travellers who have had transplant operations, Free Spirit believe that you should have the confidence to travel, regardless of age or medical conditions.
