A British woman in a coma in Thailand after contracting meningitis can't return home because insurers refuse to cover her repatriation flight.
A 71-year-old British woman, Marie Peacock, remains critically ill in a Thai hospital after contracting bacterial meningitis during a holiday, falling into a coma with brain damage.
Though recently stabilized and cleared for travel by doctors, her insurers Aviva and Barclays Bank are refusing to fund a medical repatriation flight, citing safety concerns.
Her family, including daughters who have flown to Thailand, insists they accept responsibility for any risk and are desperate to bring her back to the UK for a second medical opinion, calling the situation unjust and emotionally devastating.
