In case of medical emergencies on board, flight attendants and crew members are trained to handle the situation. They may provide basic first aid and oxygen, and may also be able to access medical supplies and equipment on board the aircraft. If the situation is severe, the captain may divert the flight to the nearest airport where medical attention can be provided.
Cruise ships have medical facilities and trained medical staff on board to handle medical emergencies. Passengers who require medical attention can visit the ship's medical center, which is typically staffed 24/7 and equipped to handle a range of medical issues. In more serious cases, the ship's medical staff may coordinate with local authorities to arrange for evacuation to a nearby hospital for further treatment. Passengers should have travel insurance that covers medical emergencies to help with the cost of medical care on board or onshore.
