ROUTINE MEDICAL PROBLEMS
When confronted by a medical problem, the first step is to
determine the seriousness and to decide whether the patient is better off
staying home, in a hotel, with a friend or family member and using available
medicine or whether the patient should seek additional assistance at a
healthcare facility. Conditions such as mild gastrointestinal distress,
respiratory illness, painless skin irritation, colds, and other common problems
often resolve themselves without professional medical attention.
Following is a list of local medical facilities, some with
English-speaking staff, where help can be found if the situation warrants
profession care.

PROBLEMS REQUIRING CARE AT A WESTERN FACILITY
Many cases warranting care abroad are handled as routine departures on
commercial flights. In these cases, the consular section staff is sometimes in a
position to facilitate boarding on the next available flight, arranging
ambulance transport to the aircraft on the runway at Borispol Airport, and
requesting medical attendants at the destination airport. The patient must be
well enough to fly on a regularly scheduled airline to a city in Western Europe
or to the United States. Sometimes the patient is able to make the journey with
the assistance of an accompanying family member or friend. The consular section
staff can request boarding for both the ill American and the accompanying
passenger. Airlines sometimes require a written release from the passenger of
his/her physician to transport the ill passenger. You should consult with your
airline.
In some cases, American diplomats and military personnel travel to Frankfurt
for medical care. Private Americans may seek medical care in Germany or any
Western European country with the understanding that pre-payment in the national
currency is often necessary and a local physician must authorize a hospital
admission. The US Consulate General in Frankfurt (49) 69 7535-0, 7532-3700
(after hours), fax: 748-938 can provide information on German medical
facilities. The ability of the Consulate to intervene on behalf of Americans
especially transiting passengers wishing hospitalization in Germany is limited.
