In general, if you’re traveling to another country for work or study purposes, it’s advisable to have health insurance in case you require medical treatment while you’re there. Many countries require visitors to have health insurance coverage as a condition of entry. Additionally, even if health insurance is not mandatory, it’s still a good idea to have coverage because medical expenses can be very high in some countries, and you don’t want to be caught in a situation where you can’t afford treatment. Therefore, it’s recommended that you check with your employer or internship provider in Genoa and the local government authorities to find out if health insurance is mandatory, and if not, whether it’s advisable to purchase it. You can also consult with a travel insurance provider to explore your options for coverage while you’re abroad.
