Life happens and as long as a person can breathe, they should be able to travel with a medical condition and specialist travel insurance for pre existing medical conditions exists to facilitate this. If a person is travelling outside of their area, they should consult their doctor first to see what precautions they should take. A travelling companion should be made aware of this as well so they can act according when an incident occurs. The doctor may give contact information to a facility in or near the final destination. Or they give some resources that may be of assistance such as mobility aids or other equipment. It may also help if the travelling companion were to take CPR or a First Aid course for even better assurance. This may seem to be a bit much as many people with conditions such as high blood pressure may only take their meds along with health contact information but it helps to be prepared anyway.
