However, if you purchase travel insurance, be sure it covers situations involving separate tickets and the time allowed. You do NOT have a connection, so this wouldn't be classified as a case of a missed connection.
Does the organization provide travel insurance or will it buy travel insurance for you?
BTW, for where you're going, you should have emergency medical evacuation coverage.
