How do you contact the POC?

• A. Flight Deck and Medlink
• B. Ground Operations
• C. Pilot Lounge
• D. Medical Desk

Answer: (A)

When a medical situation arises onboard, the designated point of contact is reached through the Flight Deck in coordination with MedLink. The Flight Deck handles cockpit communications and can swiftly connect the cabin crew with MedLink, the onboard medical liaison service. MedLink physicians provide remote medical guidance, triage, and coordination with ground or destination medical resources as needed. This two-part channel ensures timely, authoritative medical input and appropriate flight decisions. Ground Operations, Pilot Lounge, and Medical Desk aren’t the primary onboard channels for medical emergencies, so they wouldn’t provide the immediate, coordinated medical contact needed.
