This couple drank the water and are waiting at the public clinic for local medical care. Sorry, no Blue Cross - only cash!
IMG Clients are different - they experience private care in clean facilities.

International Travel Insurance is a must for any world traveler.
Countries differ in socialized medicines and standards of care such that an
emergency may require evacuation to private hospitals 100s of miles away.
Moreover, foreign medical facilities will not take your local Blue Cross or HMO,
and will require cash payment. For a small premium, coverage can be assured for
any land, language, and currency. The alternative is negotiating with foreign
customs, in a different tongue, with fluctuating currency. Take it from an
experienced traveler, "its just not worth it!" Daryl Silberberg, pres of TrekWell.com.
