Health preparation and an emergency plan

Travel-health guidance identifies malaria transmission in eastern Indonesia, including Papua and West Papua, and recommends discussing prescription prevention for relevant destinations with a clinician. Arrange a travel-health consultation before departure for your exact route, vaccinations and personal needs. Use mosquito protection and bring prescribed medicines with suitable storage; RAI does not select medication or doses.

Remote-diving safety guidance stresses tested emergency arrangements for remote diving. Ask who coordinates an incident, how the boat contacts help, which facility can accept the patient and how transport is arranged. For diving, confirm trained responders and whether oxygen supply covers a potentially long evacuation. Insurance and a hotline do not replace the operator’s local response plan.

• Accommodation and boat operator, with a backup contact.
• Your insurer’s assistance number and policy details, including activity and evacuation coverage.
• The medical facility and response contacts confirmed by your operator for this specific area.
• Your medicines, allergies and an emergency contact at home.

Stop the activity and get immediate help from the operator and appropriate medical services. Do not wait for a website reply. RAI does not publish unconfirmed local hospital or chamber availability as an emergency guarantee.
