1. Get Immediate Medical Attention

If possible, call the local emergency number for emergency response or go directly by private vehicle or other transportation to the nearest medical facility. We recommend identifying the nearest modern hospital(s) in your destinations(s) before departing for your trip. Login to UHC Global for this information; select your region and country, then "need a hospital in XX?" is under "Local health care." You can create a profile using Cornell’s UHC Global ID # 343211 here.

2. Once an injured person is being cared for, or if you need medical advice prior to transport, call UHC Global at +00-1-410-453-6330

UHC Global professionals will collect information, analyze your situation, provide medical advice, form an action plan to transfer the injured person if necessary, and provide additional service to assist you. You should have a UHC Global ID card with you at all times when you are traveling.

3. Call the Cornell Police at +00-1-607-255-1111 or email intlsafety@cornell.edu

Provide all the details concerning the situation including your location, persons involved, and the best way to contact you over the next 48 hours. Cornell’s International Health & Safety team will be contacted and will connect with you soon after to provide assistance and direction on the next steps.
