Travel insurance for helper

[1510]

I plan to travel for a couple of weeks (to Singapore) and bring my helper along. She is covered under HSBC comprehensive helper insurance package that covers Death Accident etc worldwide. However, no clinical or hospitalization coverage other than in HK. With the swine flu, i'm thinking of getting some sort of additional travel insurance for her. Is it necessary, travel insurance is pretty expensive? Has anyone got any experience on this? Which provider has reasonable coverage?

Thanks in advance for the input

my helper travels with us quite a bit so i have bought her an annual travel insurance policy with the same company we use. it was expensive but it gives me peace of mind.

i get all my insurance through Kwiksure Brokers

don't know if this is too late, but i just got travel insurance for my helper thru MSIG-Standard Chartered bank. It's normal travel insurance for adults, no special package for helpers, pretty cheap, depending on duration of trip. I was going to get the travel insurance from HSBC then discovered that MSIG was cheaper and better coverage too.
