SAMPLE CONTENT

Policy implications: health issues 

International assignment policies should include assistance with various aspects of health and welfare, such as health care and emergency assistance. Health care provisions aim to ensure that employees and accompanying family are fit to go to – and live in – the destination country. As such, policy content typically includes:

• Pre-assignment medical examinations and vaccinations for the employee, spouse/ partner and children 
• Annual medical examinations while on assignment
• Private medical/health insurance; this may also potentially include dental insurance
• In-country medical treatment
• Emergency medical evacuations
• Out of host country medical assistance, if the medical facilities in the host country are not considered acceptable by appropriate medical professionals
• Pregnancy/maternity support.
