Lea was able to rely on SWICA
It's almost time. Naomi and Lea are counting the days until their holiday in Croatia. It will be Lea's first trip away with a friend since her son was born three years ago. So it's no wonder that the young mother has been looking forward for weeks to spending time with her friend on the beach and especially to the two-day sailing trip.
Gut versichert im Ausland mit Completa Top
One week before the departure date, Lea reads an article about a Swiss man who had an accident on holiday. As he had no travel insurance cover, he is now responsible for paying the horrendous foreign hospital and rescue costs himself. Luckily, Lea enjoys comprehensive cover with SWICA's Completa Top supplementary insurance plan for treatment and medically necessary repatriation in the event of emergencies abroad.

Whether it's emergency treatment abroad or repatriation costs – with this supplementary insurance plan you are comprehensively covered.
Egal wo Sie sind – SWICA ist immer für Sie da
Once the two friends arrive in Croatia, they set sail together with their skipper. When dolphins suddenly appear alongside the boat, Lea dashes to the bow with her camera. In the excitement she slips and hurts her right knee. The pain is unusually severe and persistent. She suspects that she has injured her knee badly, so she decides to go to the nearby hospital.
Fortunately, she has her SWICA health insurance card with her. On it she finds the global 24-hour phone number for the santé24 telemedicine centre. Since she knows nothing about medical care in Croatia, she calls santé24 immediately and receives competent advice.
