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.

"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."
