Obed Hoyah, head of retail banking at Societe Generale Ghana, said that only few banks in Ghana offer travel insurance with medical assistance but none of them offer medical assistance for trips taken inside and outside Ghana free of charge.

"Usually travellers have to buy travel insurance for their trip to benefit from Medical Cover and to obtain their Visa for example to Schengen countries, which is quite expensive.

"In case a customer falls sick or has an accident whilst travelling, the insurance cover up to €30,000 will take care of cost of hospitalisation, surgical operations, medical fees, transport costs, nursing fees as well as pharmaceutical products prescribed."
