Specialist Guinea insurance will probably be required if you have to visit this volatile West African country. Due to the uncertain security situation the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has advised against all but essential travel here, and consequently standard western insurance policies may be inadequate or invalid.

Although endowed with astonishing scenery and rich mineral wealth, decades of repression and economic mismanagement have kept Guinea one of the poorest countries in West Africa. Widespread political unrest, accompanied by corruption, lawlessness and violent crime make it a dangerous prospect for foreign nationals.
You should take appropriate security precautions and make certain that your Guinea insurance covers you for all possible eventualities.
Armed muggings, even in broad daylight, are a common occurrence, frequently carried out by people in military uniforms. Foreigners are especially vulnerable, and the airport, markets, hotels and restaurants are favoured places of attack. In the event of robbery, or worse, be warned that the authorities may be of little help since corruption seems endemic in every institution.
The border areas with Sierra Leone, Liberia and Cote d’Ivoire are very dangerous due to violent ethnic and cross-border tensions. There have also been incidents of piracy in Guinea waters. Since healthcare facilities are sparse, medical emergencies need to be evacuated by air ambulance to a country with appropriate care and you must include provision for this along with comprehensive international health insurance in Guinea.
