Assuring Access to Premium Medical Care
The best
medical care isn’t always available where you are.
But,
with MedAire’s GlobaLifeline services, we’ll transport
you to where the best care is available.
For more
than a decade, MedAire has been coordinating
hospitalization, transportation, repatriation, evacuation,
and financial assistance when medically indicated. Our
track record includes successful international evacuations
in the Middle East, Europe,
Asia, South America
and Africa.
Indeed,
medical emergencies aren’t predictable. But MedAire’s
response to them is, as illustrated in the following
actual scenarios:
| 1. |
Yemen
to Dubai
– The spouse of an expatriate in Yemen
had been confined to a month of bed rest due to a
bulging disc in his back. Without proper surgery,
he risked losing the use of his legs. The closest
hospital where the surgery could be performed was
in Dubai
– nearly 1,000 miles away. MedAire coordinated
travel on Yemen Airways and provided a nurse
escort to travel with the patient, who was
confined to a stretcher due to the severity of his
condition. |

| 2. |
Ethiopia
to Kenya – Inadequate
facilities and a questionable blood supply in
Ethiopia due to a high HIV-AIDS population made it
necessary for MedAire to seek an upgraded facility
for a critically-ill client. The MedLink physician
questioned the patient’s ability to tolerate the
necessary five-hour flight to Johannesburg, due to severe hemorrhaging. Based upon medical
capabilities and a shorter flight time, the
patient was, instead, evacuated by air ambulance
to Nairobi,
Kenya
where he was later stabilized and released. |

| 3. |
Tahiti
to California
– A MedAire client vacationing in
Tahiti
was in a scooter accident that resulted in severe
rib fractures. MedLink was alerted that the client
had been taken to a local public medical facility.
Upon assessment, the MedLink physician determined
that the level of care was inadequate and made
arrangements to transfer the patient to a private
clinic. There, the availability of appropriate
medical equipment was still questionable for the
client who had suffered a collapsed lung and
risked life-threatening arterial injury. A MedLink
physician, armed with the proper medical supplies,
was dispatched to Tahiti
to stabilize and escort the patient back to the U.S.
on a private jet. |
Whether
your evacuation calls for air ambulance transport, a
commercial flight back to your home country or a private
jet to a more appropriate international facility, we’ve
