Published Date
The 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) has the potential to lead to increased rates of complex illness in personnel and recognized dependents, and hence to an increased need for medical evacuation (MEDEVAC). However wide-ranging limitations in movement between countries designed to slow the spread of COVID-19 globally requires that duty stations address an actual decrease in overall MEDEVAC capability. This document from the United Nations Department of Operational Support provides guidance for missions and country offices on MEDEVAC in the context of COVID-19.
