I would like to sincerely thank Global Rescue team for the swift support provided during my recent expedition to Aconcagua in Argentina. Due to a medical condition, I was requested to be evacuated immediately and Global rescue team acted swiftly by sending over an helicopter, and got me to the hospital safely; they even continued to follow up for next few days to check if I am doing OK. Exceptional service, and when it was needed the most! Thank you Global Rescue team, this will be outstanding and will be remembered forever. Best regards, Sasikumar

We purchased evacuation insurance for our trip to Kenya. My husband fell ill and Global Rescue Refused to evacuate my husband from the camp in Nairobi to the hospital in Nairobi. They said he had to be deemed stable by a medical professional before they would move him. We were trying to move him to a medical facility! What’s the point of evacuation insurance if you have to have a doctor with you before they will come get you? I emailed them on two different occasions, requesting a refund of the premium that we paid and they have completely ignored my emails

We are very sorry to hear about the stress this situation caused and understand how frightening it can be when a loved one becomes ill while traveling. While we cannot discuss individual medical details in a public forum, our medical and operations teams were actively engaged and responded in accordance with the Membership Services Agreement. Global Rescue provides two distinct services: field rescue from a remote location to the nearest appropriate medical facility, and medical evacuation between hospitals once a patient has been medically evaluated and deemed stable. This process follows international medical and aviation safety practices. and is required to protect the patient and flight crews. In this case, our team strongly recommended transfer to a nearby accredited hospital to allow physicians to assess medical stability and determine appropriate next steps. When coverage limitations applied, we nevertheless offered to coordinate transportation on a fee-for-service basis as an option. Global Rescue has completed more than 25,000 rescue and evacuation operations worldwide, and our decisions are always guided by medical best practices, safety considerations, and the terms agreed to at enrollment. We remain committed to professionalism, transparency, and supporting our members during difficult situations.
