Allianz is now in the process of organising a direct flight home for the stranded Australian citizen who was desperately sick in Samoa.

A statement from Allianz Partners was sent to 2GB confirming they will get the six-year-old girl and the Bowring family home as soon as possible.

“We always consider how we can achieve the right care, at the right time, and in the right place for our patients. This ensures we make timely and appropriate decisions regarding moving people to alternate facilities, or even countries, to ensure they get the appropriate care, given the circumstances”, the statement read.

EARLIER:

A six year-old from Sydney and her family are currently stuck in a living hell as their insurance provider has failed to secure or provide them with a Medevac back home.

Ryan Bowring, a Sutherland Shire Father, is desperately trying to get his very sick young daughter home after a medical emergency in the Pacific Islands nation, but is facing zero support from his insurance provider Allianz in a potential life and death scenario.

His daughter has bacterial meningitis, and in order to fly home and get treated, there is no other way but to have a medevac in order to get home. Drive has reached out to Allianz, who still haven’t given the struggling family support in a dire situation.
