The Medevac Services You Want To Bring You
to the Care You Need
Your language skills can’t protect you from all the risks of travel.
Stuck in a hospital far from home due to illness or injury while traveling? Global Rescue provides medevac services that transport you to the care you know and trust, fast and safely.
What is Global Rescue Medevac, and Why
Do You Need It?
Hospitalization is already a stressful experience for anyone. But the anxiety is compounded if you require hospitalization in a foreign country. That’s why we offer medevac, or medical evacuation, services to our members. If you get hurt or sick while traveling and need treatment beyond what the local medical facility can provide, we’ll transport or repatriate you to your home hospital of choice.
Emergency Field Rescue & Medical Evacuation
Rescue from the point of illness or injury and transport to home hospital of choice.
Medical Advisory
Critical care staff available around the clock to address any medical concerns.
24/7/365 Traveler Assistance
Real-time help with destination health care systems, visa and passport issues, translation and more.

Be Prepared. Stay Protected.
We handle the unexpected, so you can focus on what matters most while you travel.
A Global Rescue membership ensures you’re never alone in a health emergency. Wherever you are in the world, if you’re hospitalized due to illness or injury, our team of medical experts will coordinate and execute rapid medevac services to bring you to the care you need — whether it’s your home hospital or a trusted facility.
Without Global Rescue, medical emergencies can spiral, taking longer, costing more and increasing the risk to your health. With us by your side, you get fast, reliable transportation and expert support, minimizing danger and giving you peace of mind.
