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.
