What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them more fragile and prone to fractures, affecting approximately 3.5 million people across the UK.
It’s important that you discuss your osteoporosis with a doctor before travelling. They will need to ensure that you are fit to fly with osteoporosis and that any symptoms are well managed. With the right preparation, medical guidance, and suitable travel insurance, many people who manage osteoporosis with medication or supervision continue to travel abroad with confidence.
How travel insurance can help if you have osteoporosis:
- Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
- Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
- Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
Travel advice for people with a musculoskeletal condition like osteoporosis
- Plan your itinerary so you can take regular breaks
- Consider accessible transport options if osteoporosis limits your mobility
- Avoid activities that may worsen joint or muscle pain
- Pack any supports or aids you normally use for osteoporosis
When completing the medical declaration, it's important to read the questions carefully, and declare this condition where required.
Direct Travel can consider cover for people with osteoporosis. The level of cover depends on how severe the condition is and how it is treated, so please answer every medical declaration question honestly and accurately.
