Practical guides

Frequently asked questions.

What about emergencies?

Medyc is not an emergency service. The person in Addis Ababa should call 907 for a Red Cross ambulance or go to the nearest emergency department straight away; then message us to arrange what comes next.

Can I pay from my country?

The team confirms the available payment methods, currency and any fees for your country before you commit.

Can you arrange care outside Addis Ababa?

Tell us the city and the service needed. The team checks what is available there: naming a city in an enquiry does not guarantee availability.

Does the programme pay for every treatment?

No. Services, funding, limits and exclusions must be specified in your written proposal. Care coordination is not unlimited insurance.

Will I receive medical updates?

Updates are shared with your relative’s permission or according to your authority as their authorised representative.

Does an enquiry start care?

No. An enquiry lets the team prepare a proposal. Care starts only once you and your relative have agreed the arrangements.
