Will I be covered for kidney disease on my EHIC or GHIC?

Your EHIC/GHIC will provide limited healthcare, including dialysis in some European companies, more information about the EHIC cover can be found here.

The EHIC will only provide basic cover for basic treatment, and we always recommend taking out Travel Insurance with kidney disease cover to ensure you are covered for medical treatment, including your pre-existing medical conditions and the cost of repatriation should you need to be brought home before or after your scheduled flight departs. This is especially important for conditions like kidney disease or if you are a kidney transplant recipient.
