Cards offering Travel Insurance for international travel?

Citi Prestige offers global Travel Insurance for international travel (30 days) as an annual benefit. Do we have a list of cards that offers such a facility? Is HDFC infina also in a similar league?
 
Feeling like monolog but, HDFC infinia is not offering individual international travel. Will try my luck with Amex plat. I now have more respect for Citi Prestige though it will be closed/ converted in 2023.
 
In India, only Citi Prestige provides overseas medical insurance of USD 50,000 but I am not sure if it accepted as a legitimate form of coverage by countries that mandate medical insurance.

Many cards provide travel insurance (typically air travel) on tickets purchased using the card.

Yes, it works. I used that in Europe, USA, Japan, UAE, and many more countries during my visa application.

True, So you will still need to purchase your own travel insurance for infinia. Let's hope axis takes this from Citi and adds it to premium cards.
