Health insurance rates across the world

Deutsche Bank has compared the insurance annual premium rates across the globe. The premium is for a basic policy for a local resident between 25-35 years.

Since the definition of a standard package varies between countries, the Deutsche Bank has tried to stick to an insurance policy which covers inpatient events and no extra covers like dental etc.

Deutsche Bank has sourced the data mainly from local providers of heath insurances, reports of organisations engaged in research of health care and news clippings.
