Before you go
Build the return-home plan before you book the outbound flight.
Medical travel planning is not just flights and hotels. The safest plans account for records, medication, companion support, travel clearance, follow-up and what happens if recovery takes longer than expected.
Clinical clearance
Ask the treating team when travel is medically appropriate and what could delay it.
Records
Know what records you will receive and how your clinician at home can use them.
Medication
Confirm prescriptions, documentation and legal/travel requirements before departure.
Companion plan
Decide who is responsible for transport, communication and practical help during early recovery.
