Sandy was travelling in Siem Reap, Cambodia when she slipped and fell, landing on her bottom. Later on, she began experiencing pain and swelling in her right bottom. She went to a local hospital but it did not have the facility to do evaluation so she was referred to another hospital. After a few rounds of referrals, Sandy was prescribed pain medications. Her aunt back home called AIG for help.

We quickly got in touch with Sandy and under our advisement she agreed to seek treatment at the other hospital. Scans revealed that Sandy had blood clot and surgery was necessary. It would be best for her to return to home for the procedure at a facility with higher level of care. The next day, we arranged for Sandy’s return via air ambulance accompanied by medical escorts. She was admitted directly to a hospital after she arrived back home.
