What if international insurance contracts still forget women's health?

Motherhood is a crucial step. In some countries, childbirth can cost tens of thousands of euros, with varying medical standards and significant out-of-pocket expenses.
Anticipating is therefore vital!
But women's health is not limited to motherhood, a subject in its own right that we will explore in greater depth in a future article.
It also includes:
✔️ Fertility and medically assisted procreation : what solutions are available abroad? What monitoring, what cost, what remaining charge?
✔️ Egg freezing : taken care of or forgotten?
✔️ Genetic mutations (BRCA/HBOC) and prevention choices (surgery, hormonal treatments).
✔️ Menopause and substitution therapies, which are still too lacking in guarantees.
✔️ Chronic or serious pathologies , affecting women more specifically, before or after the age of 50.
👉 These needs are rarely included in contracts. Yet, they can determine a life plan, well-being, and security for an entire family during international mobility.
💠 Foresight: an essential safety net
Foresight is not just about numbers. It raises a fundamental question:
➡️ What happens if I can no longer work, or if I die abroad?
What coverage in the event of disability?
What guarantees are there for the accompanying spouse and children?
How is replacement income provided far from the country of origin?
Are the designated beneficiaries in the event of death up to date and valid?
⚠️ Without clear answers, these gray areas expose families to major financial and legal insecurity.
💠 Retirement: rights that evaporate too quickly
Are my quarters validated abroad?
Does my accompanying spouse pay contributions, or do they lose several years of rights?
What steps should you take to avoid a career “gap”?
⏳ These questions often appear too late… when you return.
💠 Heritage: thinking about protection and transmission
How to legally and financially protect your spouse in the event of death?
What inheritance rules apply? (Marriage in France, marriage abroad, etc.)
How to avoid double taxation of assets?
🔎 These aspects, still too rarely anticipated, are nevertheless essential to secure the future of a family.
💡 When living abroad, planning for women's health, insurance, retirement and assets means protecting more than just an individual: it means protecting an entire family.
International mobility should not be a risky adventure, but an enriching, inclusive and secure life project.
✨ And you, have you already identified these gray areas in your international insurance contracts?
