Visitors Insurance for Africans Visiting the USA (2026)
African health systems — from Nigeria's NHIS to Kenya's NHIF — provide zero coverage once you land in the US. This hub links to country-specific guides covering 34 African nations.
Your African Health Insurance Won't Work in the USA
Every African national health system — Nigeria's NHIS, Kenya's NHIF, Ghana's NHIS, Egypt's UHI, Rwanda's Mutuelle — is limited to domestic territory only. A single emergency room visit in the US costs $3,000–$8,000. One night in hospital: $11,700–$22,000. Visitors insurance covers you from day one for a fraction of that risk.
