Coping with an emergency while abroad

Before you go, get advice from your doctor about what you can do if an emergency occurs. You can also get help from the tourist office, embassy or high commission of the country you are visiting. You may need to learn certain phrases in the local language such as "I need help" and “where is the hospital?".

With all the preparations, you are fit to fly!
