Hypoparathyroidism is a rare hormonal condition where the parathyroid glands produce too little parathyroid hormone, which can affect calcium and phosphorus levels in the body that can affect people in different ways, depending on the severity of symptoms and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 2,000 people are living with the condition.
With the right preparation, medical guidance, and suitable travel insurance, many people who manage hypoparathyroidism with medication or supervision continue to travel abroad with confidence.
Having the right travel insurance in place for hypoparathyroidism 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
