Global Rescue medical operations responded to an alert from an Australian member injured in a remote area of Mongolia following a motorcycle collision with an automobile. He was conscious but experiencing hip pain and immobility and needed a field rescue. Due to the absence of nearby landing strips for fixed-wing aircraft and the unavailability of helicopters, we initiated a ground ambulance transport to get him to a hospital capable of appropriate care.

The member was immobilized and medicated for pain relief. He arrived safely at a medical center in Ulaanbaatar where he received a diagnosis of stable pelvic and sacrum fractures. Global Rescue medical professionals reviewed his treatment and found no issues. After a day of observation, the member requested discharge with the intention of resting for six weeks before flying with his wife to France where his son lives for further care and consultation with an orthopedic specialist. He declined additional assistance from Global Rescue and expressed gratitude for the support.
