Leopard Attack in Botswana

A U.S. member was in a remote camp in Botswana when he suffered a leopard bite to his calf. He received multiple penetration wounds that were further complicated by the member’s history of a blood clotting disorder. He was taken to a nearby medical clinic that could perform basic wound care. Global Rescue medical operations staff initiated and completed a successful air ambulance medical evacuation flight transporting the member from Botswana to a Johannesburg, South Africa, hospital capable of a higher level of diagnostics and medical care. The member was treated and released.
