WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?

  • 01 Guest's condition worsens
  • 02 MedAire nurse meets patient
  • 03 Air Ambulance to London
  • 04 Patient's condition improves

The guest’s condition worsens and he requests a medical repatriation back home to the U.S. on a commerical flight.

MedAire sends a nurse to escort him with oxygen support.

When the MedAire nurse met the patient it became clear that his condition was worse than anticipated.

He was therefore not fit to travel on a commercial flight. 

MedAire arranges to an Air Ambulance to London, where the patient is admitted to hospital for further investigations and treatment.

Once the patient's condition was stabilised he returned to his home location on a commercial flight.

The MedAire medical escort accompanies him to ensure he remained well during the flight.
