Airline cabin crews have basic first aid training. Most airlines have an in-flight link to a medical response resource. Airlines will call for any physicians or other health care professionals to assist. There are limited medications stored in the first-aid kit including portable oxygen. Significant health emergencies the captain will divert to a closer airfield if able.
