Having previously used another provider for my heart condition I found when I was diagnosed with IPF that the premiums went through the roof. World First was recommended to me by a doctor and has given me first class service and acceptable costs allowing me to travel confidently with my condition and to not take advantage of individuals who have had bad news regarding their health but still want to travel and enjoy their remaining time making memories with their loved ones Reviewed on: 5th September 2023
