What is a UK Global Health Insurance Card?
A UK Global Health Insurance Card (or GHIC, as it’s known) replaced the EHIC (European Health Insurance Card). If you intend to travel to Europe, Switzerland (and a few other destinations) a GHIC will cover you should you need emergency treatment while you’re away.
