Flightcare Global believes that all operators, passengers, and crew should have access to reliable medical support and assistance.
Education plays a big part in understanding why medical support is so important; statistics show that death during flight is rare, they also show that 1 in 150 flights will have a medical emergency.
There is no way of knowing which flight will be affected, what kind of medical emergency will occur, or which outcomes and consequences will result from the medical emergency and the actions of crew and personnel managing the incident.
