has abstract	The UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) is a card issued by the NHS Business Services Authority on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions in the United Kingdom. It is issued free of charge to anyone covered by the social security system of the United Kingdom and provides evidence of entitlement to the provision of healthcare services under the UK's reciprocal healthcare agreements with the European Union and Switzerland. It is also accepted by Australia as proof of eligibility to enrol in Medicare. Before January 2021, UK residents, students and European Economic Area/Switzerland-resident UK state pension recipients were entitled to a European Health Insurance Card. Under the terms of the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the UK and EU agreed that reciprocal healthcare provision would continue. The UK launched the Global Health Insurance Card in January 2021 to partially replace the EHIC for this purpose. The UK continues to accept the EU's EHIC and issue EHIC cards to certain individuals who maintain entitlement under previous treaties with the EEA and Switzerland. Despite its name, it is valid in fewer countries than the EHIC. Because similar reciprocal healthcare agreements have not yet been formed between the UK and the EEA EHIC participants, the GHIC is not currently valid in Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein. However, the UK is currently negotiating arrangements with these countries, and British citizens can continue to receive reciprocal care in Norway with only their passport. Like the EHIC, the GHIC only covers healthcare which is normally covered by a statutory health care system in the visited country, so the UK government still advises travellers to purchase travel insurance.
