TL;DR
Travelers recommend buying a no-deductible policy through Cherehapa — it works smoothly. If you develop a high fever (around 39°C/102°F), call your insurer immediately and demand an emergency transfer to a hospital; keep WhatsApp installed for communication.
If your temperature spikes to around 39°C (102°F), don't wait — call your insurance company right away and insist on an emergency transfer to a hospital.
A no-deductible policy from Cherehapa purchased just a week before the trip worked without any issues.
To stay in touch with the insurance company on the ground, one traveler had to reinstall WhatsApp — regular cellular/roaming wasn't reliable enough for quick contact.
