PHILIPSBURG — Panama has launched a programme offering free health insurance coverage for ten days to tourists arriving in the country by plane.

According to Panama Tourism, the measure forms part of the country’s tourism promotion efforts. The programme specifically targets travellers entering Panama via air transport.

The insurance covers medical expenses during the first ten days of stay. Tourists reportedly do not require separate registration; coverage is automatically granted upon arrival by aircraft.

The specific terms, coverage details, and validity period of the insurance programme have not been further specified in available information. Any exceptions or limitations remain unaddressed.

With this initiative, Panama aims to encourage tourism to the country and provide travellers with greater security during their visit.
