Posted By Bill Glass Any reputable company in the Region should as a minimum provide free (or compensate your for cost) medical and insurance coverage for yourself. On saying that the countries in the Middle East do have health care but much much better to have 'private health care'. For your family it may be a different matter some companies do provide this while others do not. If not my advice is take out medical coverage from a private company such as BUPA, PPP etc. Hope this helps Bill
