YES worth it. Air ambulance from Sri Lanka to home country: USD 25000-100000+ depending on distance and medical complexity. Comprehensive travel insurance with evacuation coverage: USD 100-300 for a 2-week trip. Compare providers: MedjetAssist, World Nomads, GeoBlue for comprehensive evac.

For older travelers or serious pre-existing conditions: consider annual coverage (Medjet Assist annual USD 300-500) with medical concierge included. Ground ambulance in Sri Lanka is affordable (few hundred USD), but international air evacuation is where insurance essential.
