My guess is that travel insurance covering mid-trip medical treatment or medevac will not be available for purchase by a 90+ year old. Especially one with pre-existing conditions. Rather, the best that will be available will be the medical coverage that Granny currently has. It may, or may not, cover illness or injury while abroad -- or may be severely limited in such coverage. You need to check this out very closely.
