Our highly experienced multi-lingual team are available to talk 24 hours a day.

For emergencies: if you are taken by ambulance to a hospital following an emergency call, you or a companion should call us as soon as possible once you have been admitted to hospital.

For non-emergencies: if you need a GP or need to go to A&E or a clinic, call us first, before you try to locate help, so we can guide you to the safest and most appropriate source of treatment.

Our first steps will always be to:

• Establish that you're in a place of safety
• Determine the capability of the treating hospital
• Consider your immediate transfer home
• Make sure that the necessary medical fees are guaranteed.

Our team offer you a personal touch coupled with medical expertise, to help take some of the worry out of what can be an incredibly stressful situation – we’ll even keep your key contacts updated on your progress for you and if need be, we’ll fly a doctor or nurse out, with specialist repatriation equipment, to accompany you home either on a commercial flight or by air ambulance.

We actively monitor the capabilities of medical facilities throughout the world and use this knowledge to determine whether you need to be transferred to a different facility. Once we are satisfied that you are getting the appropriate treatment, we will agree a treatment plan with your treating doctor and you. If you cannot be discharged in time to continue your trip as planned, we will make arrangements to bring you home at the appropriate time.
