You will need approved travel insurances if you go to Cuba - UK list

You will need approved travel insurances if you go to Cuba

The Cuban government announced in March that all travellers arriving in
Cuba from May 1 and beyond would be required to purchase Cuba health
insurance.

The insurance policy should be purchased in the traveler's home country
but for those tourists arriving without proper coverage, they will be
required to purchase an appropriate policy from a Cuban insurance
company at the airport, port or marina where they arrive.

Travelers arriving in Cuba shall have a travel insurance policy that
covers medical expenses or a policy for medical expenses with coverage
in Cuba.

In early April the list of approved Cuba health and medical insurance
providers was released. It is a short list for the UK:

* Acia-Sea Claims = Anglo Caribbean Insurance
* Aea International – Sos Assistance
* Alpha Assistance
* Assistance 2000 – Primary Assistance
