A U.S. member was trekking in Bolivia when he suffered several injuries after a fall. His trekking group leaders contacted us and reported the member had sustained multiple injuries, including an open fracture on his right ankle, a broken finger and a bleeding head laceration. Due to the remote location, challenging terrain and lack of helicopters, an airborne rescue wasn’t available. Global Rescue coordinated with a search and rescue team and members of the trekking company who carried him to basecamp before transporting him by ground ambulance to a medical facility where he was treated and stabilized. Due to the severity of his condition and the need for a medical facility capable of a higher level of care, our medical operations experts concurred with treating physicians to transport the member via air ambulance to a hospital in Philadelphia. He successfully arrived at the hospital for ongoing treatment.
