During a flight, have you ever heard, "are there any doctors on board?" Or worse, had your flight diverted due to an emergency? It is common for medical emergencies to occur in the sky, just as they do on the ground. However, the likelihood of experiencing an in-flight medical emergency is much higher than the average person might think. Did you know that MedAire's Global Response Centre receives roughly 300 calls every day? The most common medical case types include gastrointestinal, neurological, musculoskeletal, infectious/communicable, and respiratory illnesses. Essentially, MedAire saves lives in places where medical treatment is not easily accessible, whether on the deck of a yacht in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea or the galley of an aircraft 40,000 feet in the air.
