Can you get medical insurance in countries the FO says don't
 

Sorry if you've seen this post on a different branch (but I'm trying to maximise my chances of a helpful reply)

I'm off to South Algeria, and North Niger - both areas the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (UK) advise against all travel to.

Does anyone know of any companies that definitely will cover a UK citizen for regular medical events like broken bones etc. in these countries?

cheers

Hi there. Check out www.worldnomads.com. They're an Australian company who say they cover you for practically everything everywhere - and you don't have to live in Australia to get their insurance. I haven't taken insurance with them (yet), but they were at a travel show at Olympia in London this weekend and seemed pretty legit. Good luck...
