Hi everyone

I am the mum of a liver transplant patient, she was transplanted december 2016, after a few infections etc in the beginning she is now very well and planning to travel to Tunisia to see her fiance for the 1st time in 18 months can anyone recommend an insurance company ASAP? It would be much appreciated thanks

I travelled to Croatia in January which was 9 months post transplant. Cheapest i found was a company called Cloud Cover that came through the money supermarket search. Cost me £55 for the week. You'll probably find Tunisia a bit more expensive as the European Health Insurance Card can't be used to offset some of the insurance companies costs.

Hi I have used sll clear to travel

after transplant

I taveled to the south of France and Vietnam around £80 for a single trip

I thought you had to be 1 year clear of Transplant before you could travel out side the EU

hope this helps E

The Leeds Hospital Support Group have a great page about travel, check out: stjamesltsg.org/travel%20in... - I travelled to New York just over 6 months after transplant- it depends on your progress and your doctors advice. I was quoted £1300 by the usual compare sites- specialist insurers off that site - £305 and I have diabetes, foot ulcer issues and an amputation, so should be much better for most. Hope this helps C.

We used medical travel compared for the holiday we should have been taking at easter, this was with my son having a liver disease but no transplant. In January he was suddenly diagnosed with a Hepatocallular carcinoma and placed on the list for transplant so we had to cancel and they paid out within a few weeks with no hassle at all. I will definitely try them again when my son is allowed to travel.
