General medevac advice
In any case where medical evacuation is needed, if the patient has medical insurance then they usually provide details of how to proceed in getting a medevac organised. Some insurance companies only need one communication and everything is arranged by them. For certain situations, however, you may find yourself arranging the details. Below are some companies and organisations offering Medical Evacuation Services. Whatever the situation, it's always worth having a plan of action researched 'before' any accident happens.
