GLOBAL RESCUE

Global Rescue is the premier medical evacuation service for traveling hunters. If you want to protect your health while traveling, then become a Global Rescue member. Global Rescue is the only medical evacuation provider that provides field rescue to their members. Global Rescue will evacuate you from the point of injury using helicopters, airplanes, land vehicles and whatever else is necessary. Their rescue teams are composed of former U.S. Special Operation’s medics and commandos including Navy SEALs and Army Rangers. Global Rescue has performed evacuations from the world’s deepest canyon in Peru to Mt. Everest and everywhere in between. If you can get there, Global Rescue can get you back.

WHY GLOBAL RESCUE?

• Worldwide emergency evacuation and field rescue

• Choice of destination hospital should a medical evacuation occur

• Crisis response services for individuals, families and corporations

Medical emergencies can happen anywhere and at any time. When you're away from home, how will you get to the life saving medical treatment you or a family member needs? In an emergency, you need reliable advice to make the right medical decision, and an evacuation to a medical facility you can trust. Global Rescue provides both.

A Global Rescue medical evacuation membership provides:

24/7 medical advice and support from world class physicians at Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Medical evacuations from anywhere in the world to your choice of home-country hospital, any time you are more than 160 miles from home and need hospitalization.

Field rescues for medical emergencies requiring hospitalization in the event you are in a remote location and cannot get to a hospital on your own.

Lost medication, visa and passport assistance, legal referrals, and more.

African Cape Trophy Safaris strongly recommends that you enroll with Global Rescue prior to embarking on your trip.
