Air Ambulance Company Works with US Embassies All Over the Globe

    CHARLESTON, SC, May 23, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Travel Care is pleased to remind anyone in need of care traveling in another country that we have strong relationships with United States Embassies and Consulates all over the world.

One of the most important pieces of information you can have while traveling overseas is the phone number and/or address for the nearest US Embassy or Consulate. This knowledge is important for safety, especially if you have to visit a country with a travel warning or alert in place. But being able to reach out to an embassy or consulate is also key if you become sick or have an accident. If this worst-case scenario happens, a US Embassy or Consulate can work with an air ambulance company to help bring you home for proper care.

"If you need to return home after a medical emergency, the first thing you should do is contact the US Embassy or Consulate in the country you are visiting," Travel Care owner Ron Schaberg said. "The government officials can help you find an air ambulance company, alert relatives, and do a lot of wonderful things to take away your stress."

Once you find an air ambulance company they will start to work with the government officials to help bring you home. It's especially helpful to have these people working for you in the air ambulance booking process. You will be able to fly home much faster with help than trying to fill out all the paperwork yourself. "If you're sick or have an accident, the last thing you want to worry about is all the administrative stuff," Schaberg said. "It's probably the single biggest relief of all the patients that we have helped in the last 30 plus years."

Most air ambulance professionals, like Travel Care Air, have already have a built in relationship with several United States Embassy and Consulates all over the globe. "That means when you trust us with your air ambulance needs, we have the experience and understanding for your situation," Schaberg said.

Family is also an important part of the process. Before you leave for your trip, always alert your family about your travel plans. If your accident or illness is serious enough your family may have to do a lot of the heavy lifting to help get you home. If your family needs to communicate with the US Embassy or Consulate they will need to have as many details as possible. One way to help your family is to scan some of your important documents and send copies to your relatives. Set up a secure email or cloud folder.

Being prepared for anything is what being a smart traveler is all about. Typically no one thinks they will need an air ambulance until they do. But if you travel you will have all the help you need in an emergency if you have the US Embassy or Consulate information at a moment's notice.
