A Malaysian member trekking in Nepal contacted Global Rescue seeking help for his father who became ill in Namche Bazaar (11,286 feet/3,440 meters), a town in northeastern Nepal. The member was initially examined at a local clinic where he was diagnosed with HAPE. Global Rescue medical operations staff confirmed the assessment and recommended an airborne medical evacuation to a hospital at lower altitude for medical management. The member was safely transported to a hospital in Lukla where he was evaluated and diagnosed with post-AMS and later released to continue his recovery and return home.
