	Do you know what a Health Insurance is? If you don&rsquo;t, worry not because most Pakistanis don&rsquo;t. We don&rsquo;t have this facility available in Pakistan.

	A Health Insurance is bought by government or a private Health care provider. You have to pay an amount of money monthly or yearly to them and if you have any Medical issue they will cover its expenses for you.

	There are different types of Health Insurances with different packages. When you go to a <a href="http://studyabroad.pk/guides">foreign country</a> make sure you learn about these Health Insurances first. Most people abroad have their Health Insurance. It helps them save a lot money. In most developed countries health care can be very expensive. They don&rsquo;t have 50 rupey wali clinics in their streets.

	Once you are <a href="http://studyabroad.pk/">abroad studying</a>, you will make many friends and acquaintances with the passage of time. And of course, they will also be helping you in your needs. But before that you might want to have a backup plan. Make sure you have someone as your emergency contact to facilitate you in your bad times.

	If you have any accidents or any other sudden medical emergency, you should have some contacts saved with you where they are easily available. You can save them in your mobile or write them in a card and keep that card in your wallet. So, what you need to research in advance is who to contact. If you have friend or relative there, well n good. But other than this, do know about the emergency rescue services i.e. we have 1122 in Pakistan that are always available on duty when called.

	Wherever you move in, discover the area find all the clinics and hospitals there. Now, another obstacle you may have to face, can be language barrier depending on the country you move in. If you have find a good clinic or hospital near your residence, go and make sure if the doctors available there can speak your languages or not.

	Just because he is a doctor, it is not necessarily possible that he can speak <a href="http://studyabroad.pk/test-preparation">English</a>. English language may be a compulsory subject in Pakistan but it is not same with all other countries. Try to have a doctor&rsquo;s contact number with you, in case if you need some emergency medical assistance.

	Most of the clinics you will find abroad are most probably specialist. It means they might treat only a certain type of disease or problem. You have all types of doctors available in a hospital. If you could make some contact in hospital that would be really great for you.

	Diseases are not the only threat to your health. But you also have to face dangerous threat of accident. Accidents, though rarely, do occur. We must always be prepared for the worst. You should also search the accidents rate in that particular country you are going in. India, <a href="http://studyabroad.pk/guides/study-in-china">China</a> and <a href="http://studyabroad.pk/guides/study-in-usa">USA</a>, stands at the top for the most accidental deaths.

	Another problem that I would call the biggest evil of all is Expensive health care. You have chosen the country but do you know how expensive their health care is? You can&rsquo;t be sure they might take your whole month salary for one day prescription. USA, Switzerland and Norway stands at top for most expensive health care in the world.
