What is medical insurance?

It covers you for treatment for medical emergencies and illness anytime, anywhere. Don’t leave your medical insurance to chance. Protect yourself from expensive medical bills. Waves Health has been designed to give superyacht crew the comprehensive healthcare cover they need.
