Since medical emergencies are also covered as PMBs, let’s have a closer look at what a medical emergency is:

A medical emergency is a sudden illness or injury that is so serious it needs a doctor's help right away to prevent death or permanent damage to the body.

Examples of medical emergencies are severe bleeding, breathing problems, chest pain, choking, coughing up or vomiting blood, serious head or spinal injury, serious injury due to motor vehicle accident, burns or smoke inhalation, near drowning, or the serious sudden complications of a chronic condition like diabetes or high blood pressure.

Important Note:

In a life-threatening emergency, you will be taken to the nearest hospital to receive urgent care and stabilisation, ensuring your health and safety are not compromised.
