   Hi ,
   My Family ( wife and two children) and I are temporarily living in China. They all go to school and I work in Africa ( Uganda + DRC). I work two months at a time approximately and return for two months. I am looking for a quote on insurance that covers us all and is portable should we move away although our plan is to stay here for at least another year +. I am 52 aug 13/60 , my wife is 50 april 30/62 and my son is 13 June 8,1999 and my daughter is 10 June 5,2002. Please could you send information to the e mail address. I am leaving shortly to go on tour again.
   Thank you

      We currently work with many international insurers that can provide you with coverage in China and Africa. Allianz, AXA PPP, BUPA, Interglobal, NOW Health and William Russell are just a few of the companies that can provide you with health insurance for yourself and your family.
      
      Most of the insurance companies we work with can offer portable plans. An international medical insurance policy is especially made for expats living abroad, and they are tailored to fit the expat’s needs. Nowadays it is more common to work in different countries during a life span, and the insurance companies that we work with can especially cater the needs for expats working in different countries.
      
      Depending on your needs and situation, we can advise on the benefits and different plans. Since you are going to Africa we would always recommend an insurance policy which provide you with medical evacuation. And since you have children, it is also important to find a plan which can provide you with outpatient benefits and annual health checks.
