Why Global Rescue? Most African hunters are not aware of the serious deficiencies of their health insurance, travel insurance, platinum card program or SOS hotline service. These programs do not respond promptly and do not have in-house medical and security professionals to deploy to your location anywhere on the planet to solve your crisis. Global Rescue has a proven track record of success under the most difficult conditions.

Global Rescue

Healthcare in much of Africa is either poor or non-existent so Global Rescue provides the medical and security expertise combined with an ability to deploy professionals to the exact location of your emergency even if is far from civilization. Members may decide where and when they want to be transported, giving them a higher likelihood of a positive outcome. If a natural disaster strikes or political turmoil escalates to civil unrest, members who have upgraded to Global Rescue's security membership can be immediately transported home safely.
