Please note: Medical benefits under this policy are only available in the event of an emergency evacuation. While it is not required for short-term crew to have additional health insurance, it is strongly encouraged. If you do would like to purchase additional medical and non-medical coverage, we suggest two options:
- Purchase the Mercy Ships Top Up Plan from TTc which includes these extra medical and non-medical benefits. To add this additional coverage, go to TTc website and apply for the standard Outreach program. As long as you mention that you are with the Africa Mercy and Mercy Ships, you will automatically be given the special Top Up rates.
- Purchase short-term travel insurance. Short-term Travel Insurance Travel insurance is available in most countries and is often offered when you purchase your tickets through a travel agent. Cost is variable depending on the product you choose and the level of coverage.
