保险--旅行指南和建议 - Translated by Marianne Wang 1. Ask Ping An A prerequisite of a good travel experience is to be well prepared. Certain preparations can reduce the risk of problems occurring during the travel or limit the problem if it occurs. Surely the amount of travel preparations is an individual decision, but the type of preparation is vastly dependent on what kind of travel you are planning for. This chapter will give you some general advice related to travel preparations, including information about how Ping An can help you before your departure.

Chronic disease Special regulations apply, if you are suffering from chronic disease or other pre-existing conditions, which could cause the need for treatment during your travels. Your state of health can as such be a deciding factor in determining whether or not you are covered by the travel insurance in relation to your specific chronic disease. - Am I covered? - - Is it a good idea to travel even though I am covered? Even though you are covered, and even if you have received an advance statement of coverage from Ping An, it is very important that you make sure, whether it is a good idea to travel or not. As an alternative, you can consider a different destination, which is more suitable considering your chronic disease. Maybe it is not possible to treat your specific chronic disease at the destination and maybe the circumstances are such that Ping An can not transfer you to another place for treatment – or back to China. Talk to your doctor or Ping An hotline about this. 3. Travel medicine It is always a good idea to bring a small amount of certain medicine on your travels. You should always bring: a. Medicine, which you use at home, due to reasons of general health condition b. The name of the medicine and advice from a doctor regarding dosis administration On most travels, you should consider to bring: a. Regular painkillers b. Medicine relieving sickness occurring during transportation c. Medicine relieving various skin problems (itching, sun burns, infection etc.) d. Diarrhea medicine e. Bandage You should be aware that the attitude towards medicine (particularly morphine based medicine and syringes) brought from home can in some countries be looked upon with suspicion. For this reason, it can be a good idea to bring a medical statement in either; English, French or Spanish from a doctor at home stating that medicine or equipment in question is for personal use only. If you travel in Shengen countries, do not forget to bring a Shengen-attest issued at your local pharmacy. Children and travel medicine Children are more sensitive to the effect of medicine and very often it is not safe for children to use medicine designed for adults. All medicine may oonly be used following the right procedure provided by doctors. For this reason you should always bring your medicine in the original container on which is usually found the description of the dosis administration. Talk to your doctor, your local pharmacy, or call doctors specialized in travel medicine using the Ping An hotline. 4. Vaccinations and prevention medicine Using the Ping An hotline, you can receive advice regarding vaccinations and prevention medicine. We can also guide you to a clinic doing travel vaccinations. Here is some good advice: a. Always prepare to see a doctor regarding vaccination in plenty of time (6-8 weeks) before a planned travel, since this should be done some time before a departure. b. Always inform the doctor about your entire route of travel, since the need of vaccinations and prevention medicine is dependent on the areas in which you travel, the length of the travel and what you are going to do during your travels. c. Always get a fully updated international vaccination card from your doctor and bring it on your travels. 5. Local health and treatment conditions Particularly when you travel to very exotic destinations away from regular travel routes, it can be an extra security for you to receive information about the local health conditions. This you can get through the Ping An hotline We can inform you about the general health conditions in most countries regarding for instance the standard of local hospitals and doctors as well as which preparations you should make prior to your travels. 6. Passport (including specific requirements) Always remember to bring a passport being valid for the entire period of travels. Some countries require your passport to be valid at least 6 months after your returning to your home country, in order to get a permission to travel in to the country. If this is not the case you risk to be denied access to the country in question. You can talk to your travel agency, The Foreign Ministry of affairs, the Embassy or Consulate in China of the country you are traveling to, or the Ping An hotline Children in the passport If a child does not have his own passport, the name and birth date of the child is added to the passport of the parents at the local police station. If the child is traveling with both parents, it is always a good idea to have the child registered in the passport of both parents. 7. Visa Always find information about visa requirements in good time before departure, since getting a visa can be a lengthy process. You can talk to your travel agency, The Foreign Ministry of affairs, the Embassy or Consulate in China of the country you are traveling to, or the Ping An hotline. 8. Other papers Always remember to bring: a. An international driver’s license if you wish to drive a car or a motorcycle at the destination of your travels. Please note that only very few countries accept temporary drivers licenses, just as well as some countries, dependent on the rental company, requires that the drives license must have been valid for a specific period of time before using it on the destination. b. Personal ID card, which is important to bring in case you should loose your passport during the travel. c. Other documentation holding your photograph, such as a visa card.

Security conditions and related information In certain countries/areas you will find civil unrest, war-like conditions or even war. Ping An is cooperating with an English as well as a Danish company providing advice on such matters. Ping An also has developed a list of current risk zones, which is always kept updated. That way we can always provide information about travel safety in the whole world. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that your travel insurance does not provide coverage when traveling to countries/areas, which are listed as war-zone in our system. If traveling to places of unrest, you should contact the Ping An hotline and be informed whether the place is listed as war-zone. 10. Advice regarding luggage What ever you choose to bring on your travels is of course an individual matter. Here is some advice: a. Always place important papers such as passport, money, credit cards etc. in your hand luggage. It is suggested to keep such items in a pocket or money belt on the inside of your clothing. It is also suggested that all co-travelers each carry parts of the cash brought on the travel. In this way you will not loose all money in case one traveler is subject to theft b. Always place your medicine in your hand luggage c. Do never place electronic equipment in luggage being checked in during flight travels. There is a risk that they will be found and removed in the security check. You should rather place them in your hand luggage. d. Rules regarding the size and weight of hand luggage will vary from air line to airline. It is suggested to contact your airline, if you wish to obtain the specifics of this matter. However, as a general rule, the hand luggage can weigh approximately 5 kg and have a max. size of 50cm x 40 cm x 25 cm. e. Never place lighters, lighter gas or similar items in luggage being checked in. f. Note the serial numbers of your camera, passport, tickets, credit cards etc. and place the numbers at home. During your travel 11. During transport All transport places a considerable stress on the body. The impact of this varies whtehr you are traveling by plane, train, car, bus or by sea. The impact also varies according to whether you are well or whether you are sick or tired. Even a minor disease can influence how you body reacts to transport-related stress.
