Is EHIC or GHIC enough for Europe travel?

Is EHIC or GHIC enough for Europe travel?

No, an EHIC or GHIC card is not enough on its own for travel in Europe. While it gives access to state-provided healthcare in EU countries at a reduced cost or sometimes for free, it does not cover private medical treatment, repatriation, or non-health-related travel issues like lost luggage or cancellations. For full protection, you should always buy comprehensive travel insurance that includes medical cover, especially for serious illness or accidents abroad.
