Autoimmune Medical Conditions

Back to Pre-Existing Medical Conditions

Autoimmune conditions happen when the immune system wrongly attacks healthy cells inside the body, causing symptoms like fatigue, pain, and inflammation. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or type 1 diabetes often require careful management and regular medication, so travel can seem that much more challenging.

Travelling with an autoimmune condition probably involves extra planning, especially when far from home. Fortunately, having travel insurance can help ease some of the stress by covering medical needs and unexpected issues, so that you can focus more on enjoying your trip.

These are just some of the autoimmune conditions and disorders we can cover:

Sarcoidosis
Scleroderma
Sjögren's Syndrome
Ulcerative Colitis

Don’t worry if your condition is not listed above - we cover plenty more medical conditions.
* Please note that cover will vary depending on individual medical screenings.
