On board medical problems

I did a R/T JFK-HKG last week and had pax with medical issues on both flights.

As usual, CX handled the situation professionally and properly - fortunately there were docs on board both times and in the end we didn't have to divert

Here is the question -the first incident happened as we were almost directly over the NOrth Pole and the diversion would have been to Oslo Norway or if we didn't have the ETOPS, it would have been Siberia - if we did have to divert, who's responsibility would it be to get the pax to his final destination if he didn't carry the proper travel insurance (which i am sure was the case here)??
