TL;DR
Travel insurance can cover a clinic visit for vomiting, diarrhea or fever in Turkey, including IV treatment reported by travelers. One policy mentioned in the discussions was from T-Bank.
Travelers who became ill on their second day of vacation used their insurance to visit a clinic; one report included IV treatment followed by a day of rest in the room.
For rotavirus-like symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, insurance helped travelers access medical care in Turkey, although the illness significantly disrupted the trip.
In one family’s case, a T-Bank policy covered expenses after two children developed a fever shortly after arrival. Arrange insurance before the trip begins.
