Although Guinea is one of the most picturesque countries, with a mineral-rich economy, it is also one of the poorest countries in West Africa. Corruption and the poor law enforcement system has made theft and violent crimes common within the country. Foreigners are usually targeted, so it is best to take the necessary precautions when entering Guinea.

Expats living or working in Guinea should secure comprehensive insurance coverage due to the country’s limited healthcare infrastructure and other potential risks. Below are key insurance options to consider:
1. Health Insurance
Guinea’s public healthcare system is underdeveloped, and private healthcare facilities can be costly. Expats should opt for:
- International Health Insurance: Covers hospitalization, specialist care, and medical evacuations.
- Local Private Insurance: Limited options are available, but they may not cover high-quality treatment or evacuation.
- Travel Insurance: Consider this emergency only cover if you plan to stay for just a few days or months and retain cover back home.
3. Life Insurance
Expats should consider international life insurance policies that provide coverage worldwide. As you would expect, many local options may be limited and unreliable.
4. Property & Auto Insurance
- Home Insurance: Protects against theft, fire, and natural disasters.
- Car Insurance: Third-party liability insurance is mandatory, but comprehensive coverage is recommended due to road conditions.
4. Business & Liability Insurance
Expats running businesses should invest in liability insurance to cover legal claims and potential financial losses.
Choosing a reputable international insurer ensures better coverage and access to quality care. Always review policy terms, exclusions, and claim procedures before purchasing.
