Exceptional value for money - all of my medical conditions covered where others companies would not insure.

Comprehensive travel insurance for all kinds of blood disorders

If you're living with a blood disorder you may have found it difficult to get travel insurance at a reasonable price. Some insurers may have even refused to cover you altogether. We're different. We offer travellers with HIV, diabetes, haemophilia and several other blood disorders travel insurance that's comprehensive and priced fairly.

Getting a quote is easy. With our online medical screening, you could have everything arranged in less than five minutes. We just need a little information on your medical history so we can make sure your policy is right for you. Alternatively, call us on 0345 90 80 161 to speak to one of our highly-trained advisors about your condition and find out more about our cover. There's more information about insuring specific blood conditions below.

"Best insurance find ever"

"World First were recommended to me as my husband and I both have health issues. World First are what they say they are and operate a fair system to reflect the customer's health issues. Having tried several companies and been refused insurance or offered it at a hugely inflated cost I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to give mine and my husband's health details and then receive a very reasonable quote. Would I recommend World First? You bet I would."
