Do you recommend any particular travel insurance?

East West Rescue have kindly provided us with the following list of insurers who in their past dealings have provided immediate authorisation for East West to incur expenses at their own discretion while assisting patients (eg emergency air ambulance charter costs). The insurers then honour the expenses on the basis that they were incurred on behalf of the patient in good faith by East West. The last thing you need, if you have a broken leg in the Himalayas, is an insurer in a different time-zone back home requiring a doctor's "on-the-spot assessment", before authorising your evacuation by air ambulance!
