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.
