A U.S. member needed field rescue after experiencing shortness of breath and vomiting blood while in Karanga Camp, Tanzania, for a summit attempt on Kilimanjaro. Global Rescue medical operations spoke with him and the expedition guide, and confirmed the member’s cough produced blood-tinged phlegm, and that his beathing difficulty had started earlier in the day. Due to the severity of his condition, Global Rescue medical operations personnel initiated a helicopter field rescue. The member was successfully evacuated and evaluated at a local hospital in Arusha where he was diagnosed with pneumonia and prescribed antibiotics. He was scheduled to return home in the U.S. to continue his recovery.
