The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) entitles European travellers to free or reduced cost medical care, at state-run facilities, in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland. It does not cover ongoing illnesses of a non-urgent nature, so comprehensive travel insurance is advised.

Other risks: 

Tick-borne encephalitis occurs in forested areas. Vaccination is advised for campers and hikers. Rabies, although on the decrease, is present. If bitten, seek medical advice without delay.

Recommended Sites:

Before you travel, find out if your holiday destination is in a malaria zone.
