World Medical Card for the Whole Family
World Medical Card offers membership for the whole family. Whether you and your loved ones have medical conditions, are taking specific medications, or have allergies, World Medical Card helps members store, update, and share their medical profiles with medical professionals worldwide in emergencies.
The primary reason World Medical was conceived is serious but humble. While travelling to Spain, the father of the World Medical Card founder encountered difficulty in obtaining the essential medication he required. His heart medicine was Marevan, unaware that its active ingredient is known as Warfarin, resulting in him not receiving the necessary treatment due to the variance in brand names of medications across different countries. The story had a happy ending, but for some, it could have resulted in more serious consequences. World Medical Card was designed because “I would like to see this stupid communication problem, that ultimately can cause deaths, disappear forever,” says the inventor, Arne Veidung.
Communication is Vital
If you or your family suffer from medical conditions and are travelling abroad, your biggest line of defence is your personal medical information in an emergency. Even some of the best health services abroad will need to verify their patient’s needs. If you’re visiting a country where your native language is not spoken or if you are unconscious, how do clinicians discover your medical history, allergies, and medications? The most effective solution is the World Medical Card.
Benefits of the World Medical Card Membership
The World Medical Card is more than just a medical alert card, a bracelet, or a health app. It offers a unique membership solution for individuals with medical conditions, accessible through a secure health app and a physical medical ID card.
Medical professionals and first responders can use the information to provide fast and accurate treatment in an emergency, which helps minimise the time before you receive treatment anywhere in the world.
Unlike the NHS app, GHIC card and other alert cards, memberships offer a 2-in-1 solution. Notably, the World Medical Card is specifically designed in accordance with the World Health Organisation’s standard codes (ICD-11 and ATC). Global health professionals and pharmaceutical can understand your personal medical information. It is designed for your safety in everyday life and when travelling.
With World Medical Card, your unique membership is user-generated, which means you have complete control of what you include on your account.
You can include information about:
- Medicines
- Prescriptions
- Surgeries
- Implants
- Vaccines
- Allergies
- Donor status
- X-rays
- Hospital records
- Photos of non-prescription medications
- Diagnoses
- Insurance details
- Emergency and preferred contacts
So, whatever medical condition you have, you can have that information at your fingertips, whether at home or travelling abroad.
The Health App
It couldn’t be simpler to download the secure app. Sign up and input your up-to-date medical information. You will have your profile, which can be accessed via the app or browser. We encrypt all data to make it secure and easy for you to share with loved ones or medical personnel. We also add contact information and emergency buttons for relatives.
The app can also translate your medical information into 135 languages if needed. In non-emergency situations, it can also help you locate doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies wherever you are.
The Medical Alert Card
When you sign up, we will also send you your unique World Medical Card, which will contain all your coded medical information sealed inside. In an emergency where power or the internet is unavailable, a medical professional can obtain your card and access your medical history to ensure speedy and accurate treatment.
Your medical ID card features a unique password for emergency access to your profile, helping to avoid misunderstandings about your health and ensuring prompt and accurate medical treatment.
The World Medical Card could save your life.
