"'Primum non nocere, secundum cavere, tertium sanare' is the guiding principle for medical treatment. As an emergency and prehospital physician, it is not unusual for me to treat people who speak little or no common language while visiting or working in my city. World Medical Card offers point-of-care information on allergies, preexisting health conditions, and medications as a solution for a globalised world, helping me and medical services around the planet follow this principle."

"The World Medical Card provides immediate, standardized insight into a patient’s most important health details — diagnoses, medications, allergies, and emergency contacts.This information can be the difference between correct and incorrect treatment whenever second counts. With the World Medical Card, healthcare personnel face fewer language barriers, reduced uncertainty, and a safer foundation for making rapid and precise decisions. I recommend the World Medical Card for everyone — even for individuals without known medical conditions. Sometimes, even basic information can be lifesaving in an emergency."

“During 10 years as a practising MD on Gran Canaria, I have been reminded daily about patients’ need for medical certainty abroad. The biggest problem has been people’s lack of health information. This lack of information often steals valuable time and increases the risk of mis-medication.”
