  facility when care is needed or to their own home
  country when medical care may be inadequate for
  the medical services necessary. It also helps
  when people who take medications for chronic or
  life threatening illnesses may arrive and find
  that they have left their medications behind and
  need to get them in an emergency situation. Air
  Evacuation insurance is essentially insurance
  that travels with you and will transport you to

  an urgent medical situation.
