health insurance expat in Tanzania?
I need a decent health insurance to cover me for a year whilst liviing and working in Tanzania. It has to be one that offers air lift from scene of accident as ambulances do not exist in the area I am living. Any help out there…and discounting the ambulance part any recommendations. For small things we have a very good on site doctor..I am more concerned with tarvel whilst away from work or critical illness requiring ambulance to a decent hospital.

When I lived in Tanzania, I used a division of Clements International. You can check them out at http://www.clements.com. Also, try talking to your employer as they may have a better idea of what the options are for ExPats. Depending on your home country, you can also talk to the various embassies for advice.
Hope that helps.

When I worked in Dar es Salaam I used http://www.globalsurance.com/ they provided me with international health insurance for the 2 years, when I was based there. Depending on your employer, they may offer you comprehensive medical coverage, but it is best to check to includes ambulatory services.
Enjoy your time in Tanzania.
