Kyrgyzstan Travel Forum

Hello, I have an unusual problem. My 20+ year old nephew has been trekking around the world. We know he made it to Kyrgyzstan and is/was in a hostel.
He had very limited e-mail access but got word to us that he was very ill. It sounds as if he is severely dehydrated and likely needs hospitalization for IV fluids.
The family is scrambling to figure out some arrangements to get him to proper medical care and then fly him out as soon as we locate him.

I would appreciate any input about medical facilities, perhaps in the Bishkek region. (I am only guessing this may be where he is.) As well as any suggestions for professionals to contact should we need to send someone looking for him and to assist.

We are hopeful that he will get e-mail access again tonight and let us know exactly where he is.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you

I would think that the authorities best placed to help would be your embassy (or other diplomatic representative)in the country. Or the specific office in your (or rather, your nephew's) home country that deals with foreign matters - here in the UK it is the Foreign and Commonwelath Office.

Hi yes I agree that you need to contact the embassy in the uk and they will know the best people to talk to and will have contacts in the country where your nephew is.. Please let us know he is safe and well

he may well have already been hospitlaised whereever he is
you need to try toe embassy to get help

kids huh - you think when they are small its bad- it get worse as they get older if you ask me

such a worry

hope you lacate him and sort him out soon
