What is chronic pancreatitis?
Chronic pancreatitis is a long-term condition where the pancreas becomes permanently inflamed, affecting digestion and sometimes blood sugar control. It affects approximately 45,000 people in the UK. Symptoms of chronic pancreatitis differ from person to person, but many people successfully manage the condition through medication or ongoing care.
Most people with chronic pancreatitis continue to travel as normal, and with a little planning and proper management of the condition, it can often be done safely and confidently.
Having the right travel insurance in place for chronic pancreatitis can help to cover:
- Emergency medical treatment if your condition worsens during your trip
- Hospital stays and related medical expenses abroad
- Medical repatriation to the UK if further treatment is needed
- Cancellation costs if you have to cancel your trip for medical reasons
Travel advice for people with a digestive condition like chronic pancreatitis
- Pack enough chronic pancreatitis medication for the full trip
- Stick to familiar foods where possible if your condition is diet-related
- Plan your schedule so you can take breaks when needed
- Check local healthcare facilities before travelling with chronic pancreatitis
During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions, including digestive conditions. If this applies to you, your chronic pancreatitis will need to be declared on the policy.
Many people with chronic pancreatitis can still arrange travel insurance with us. The cover available depends on the details of your diagnosis and how it is currently managed, so full and accurate answers in the medical declaration help us find the most suitable options.
