"Is there a doctor onboard?" The famous question heard overhead when there's an incident or medical emergency on a plane. In this episode, we interview Chief Medical Advisor for Flightcare Global, Dr Simon May, and Regional Chief Medical Officer - Asia Pacific for World Travel Protection, Dr Neil Slabbert. They share with us what medical equipment is onboard aircrafts, what training and support aircrew have to manage an incident, and what happens if there isn't a doctor on the plane to help. At the end of the episode, you'll learn how to manage your health during long-haul flights and what types of passengers are expected to increase now that travel is resuming worldwide.
