Midway Islands Health care
Midway is staffed with a Physician's Assistant, and three of the airport workers are EMT trained. The medical clinic includes an emergency room, ambulance, and x-ray suite. Biggest worries are sunburn, dehydration, and twisted ankles. Venturing off the posted pathways and trails presents a very real danger due to the unstable, sandy terrain chock-full of holes created by burrowing petrels. However, the existence of an active runway (Sand Island) makes it possible to stage any medical evacuations of injured or seriously ill individuals from Midway to Honolulu. Evacuations by air are expensive and are generally NOT covered by regular health insurance. Visitors are advised to have travel insurance that specifically covers medical evacuations. Through a partnership with Travel Guard, Diver's Alert Network (DAN) offers such insurance at very reasonable rates. Each insured pays the same rate regardless of age, and each individual traveler needs insurance. For the best coverage, purchase least 15 days in advance of your travel. DAN insures both divers and non-divers alike.
