If you have employees who travel for work, whether domestically or internationally, the World Medical Card® offers a convenient and comprehensive solution. By keeping all their vital medical information in one place, they can embark on their journeys with a greater sense of security and peace of mind.
Consider the World Medical Card® as part of your company travel insurance to make your employees even safer. Many corporate members protect their staff with a combination of our World Medical Card® (WMC) and travel insurance, which combines essential personal and medical information with peace of mind on any holiday or business trip.
With the World Medical Card®, you can eliminate delayed and incorrect treatment caused by lack of information. With the World Medical Card®, your employees are empowered to take control of their health and safety by creating and populating their own secure and private medical journal. The card significantly increases the likelihood of receiving faster and more accurate treatment because members’ information is readily accessible. This sense of control can be a powerful motivator for your employees.

How World Medical Card® Works
You can take the World Medical Card® anywhere you go, on the App on your phone, and the physical card in case of power or internet loss.
The App
It couldn’t be simpler to download the secure App.
Sign up and input your up-to-date medical information, including medicines and prescriptions, surgeries and implants, vaccines, allergies, donor status, X-rays or hospital records, photos of non-prescription medications, diagnoses and insurance details.
You will have your own personal profile, which can be accessed via the App or browser.
We encrypt all data to make it secure but make it easy for you to share with loved ones or medical personnel, with the addition of contact information and emergency buttons to relatives.
The App can 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.
You can share your profile with relatives, travel partners or others you trust so that they can provide you with a first line of support.
The Card
When you sign up, we will also send you your unique World Medical Card®, which will contain all your 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 information is coded according to the World Health Organization‘s global standards codes (ICD-11, ATC) to ensure that health professionals and pharmaceutical personnel worldwide understand your condition and requirements.
Your card has a unique password for emergency access to your profile to avoid misunderstandings about your health and achieve fast and correct medical treatment.
