A U.S. member needed medical evacuation after a rough landing while paragliding in Colombia, injuring her ankle. Global Rescue medical operations was contacted and confirmed that she suffered a fracture of the left ankle (tibial malleolus) requiring surgery. Unfortunately, the medical treatment team in Colombia was unable to perform the surgery. Global Rescue medical personnel recommended an expedited airborne return to the member’s home of record via business class seating with ground transportation before orthopedic follow-up. She departed Colombia and safely arrived at her home in Washington, U.S., where she continues her recovery.
