Cruises & Vacations- Plan Ahead for International Medical Transport Services In Case of Emergency

After the recent traumatic event of the Costa Concordia cruise ship capsizing in Italy, cruise ship travel has been given second thought by some. With around 4,200 passengers aboard the Costa Concordia, the wreck of the cruise liner caused an escalated emergency and distress when it hit a reef off Giglio, Italy.
During the agonizing event, thousands of travelers were reluctantly rescued or able to reach land by safety boat or by swimming, while 32 passengers remain missing or confirmed dead. When traumatic events such as this occur, many times air medical services are needed to help transport patients who need immediate medical transportation. Let's face it- emergencies happen all the time, and when they do, you can never be too prepared. Before traveling, be prepared for any kind of crisis that may occur by having emergency phone numbers, contacts and information for an international air ambulance handy. Every traveler should be able to relax and enjoy their trip or vacation, but being prepared for emergencies adds extra security and peace of mind to your plans.
