Getting sick or injured abroad is something that every traveler fears. You don't know the healthcare system, you may not speak the language, you're far from home, and you're vulnerable in a place that's foreign to you.

In partnership with Dr. Poonam Krishan, a Glasgow-based GP and media personality, insurance company Staysure has compiled a list of the 10 most expensive vacation destinations where you can end up in the hospital during your vacation, Huffpost writes. This report was created using WHO data, which does not include any tests, treatments, or medications, The Mirror reports.

Even if you think you're unlikely to get sick or injured, it's important to not only research the places you're visiting to learn about their healthcare system and how much you'll have to pay if you do get sick, but also to invest in travel insurance," says Dr. Krishan.

In addition, Dr. Krishan adds that even if you don't have any current health issues, you are not immune to being caught off guard abroad.

"I usually have people who are otherwise healthy and have no other medical issues come to me and later come to regret taking their health for granted and experience high levels of stress and anxiety about the financial implications of being hospitalized abroad," says Dr. Krishan. - Whether it's an unforeseen accident, an allergic reaction, a serious infection, appendicitis, or even more life-threatening illnesses like a heart attack or stroke, no one can predict that these scenarios could happen while on vacation.

At times like these, when stress levels are so high, the last thing you want to do is scramble to find money to pay for medical care. So where are the worst places to end up in the hospital by accident? Here is a list of countries with the most expensive medical services.
