In a July 6th USA Today article, travel columnist Everett Potter explores myths about medical evacuations. Global Rescue CEO Dan Richards debunks these myths and discusses the truth of medical evacuation coverage.
As students travel abroad in increasing numbers, academic institutions are struggling to develop the strategies and resources needed to address developing risks. Last month, the Los Angeles Times reported that two Jewish groups were sued by the parents of four Los Angeles high school students after their children contracted Leishmaniasis, a disease that causes painful skin ulcers. The parents state that the school failed in its “duty of care” obligations to the students. Duty of care is a legal concept that requires organizations such as tour operators and academic institutions to disclose the risks of travel to travelers and provide suitable medical and security resources as necessary.

As the 2015 Himalayan climbing season begins, Global Rescue is proud to provide support to The Heroes Project and the group's attempt to summit Mt. Everest this year.
Over the past decade, Global Rescue has been very active in the Himalaya, advising and evacuating hundreds of our members who have faced severe illness and injury while climbing Everest and other peaks. Recently, however, in addition to the perilous nature of the climbs themselves, climbers and trekkers have faced another danger: the threat of forced or coerced evacuations in non-emergencies as part of fraudulent practices by some in the Nepalese helicopter industry.
Global Rescue, a crisis response firm providing medical and security evacuation services to corporations, governments and individuals, has successfully rescued John All, who fell into a crevasse yesterday while conducting climate research on Mt. Himlung in the Himalayas.
