GIFT City, Gandhinagar, February 20, 2024: HDFC Life International has launched a
comprehensive US Dollar Student Health Insurance Plan, under the plan name ‘Global
Student Health Care’. The plan is designed for students who are presently pursuing higher
education abroad or aspire to pursue higher international education. It is a comprehensive
plan that offers a host of benefits and features designed to address diverse healthcare
needs and potential health contingencies.
The Global Student Health Care plan offers comprehensive coverage, allowing worldwide
access to top-notch medical facilities outside the home country, with an extensive network
of hospitals, clinics, doctors and professionals.
The plan enables customers to access top private medical facilities and services while
avoiding the conventional hassle of going through lengthy appointment wait times, as seen
in various countries. Enhancing the usefulness of this plan is its cashless facility that makes
the claims process convenient for the student.
The Global Student Health Care plan encompasses a spectrum of medical needs, from
routine check-ups to unforeseen emergencies. The plan provides default dental coverage
and also covers home doctor visits, alternate medicine, and much more. In response to the
escalating healthcare costs in popular student destinations such as UK, USA, Canada,
Germany, Australia, etc., this plan emerges as an ideal solution for Indian students abroad.
With coverage extending to thousands of medical facilities worldwide, the Global Student
Health Care plan ensures the well-being of students aged 12-40 years making it ideal for
international students, scholars, executive-education seekers and exchange program
participants.
The plan, available in four distinct options, provides coverage of up to USD 3 million,
offering flexibility in cover terms ranging from 3 months to 1 year. This inclusivity allows
even those undertaking shorter educational courses to access reliable health insurance
coverage.

A hassle-free E-membership card encompassing all necessary information in a single
swipe
Offering flexibility and peace of mind, the plan caters to dependent family members
Provides inpatient treatment with options for private as well as parental
