At World Medical Card, we want to give people with all types of allergies extra peace of mind when travelling.

Allergies are often seen as a nuisance. For some, however, they can pose serious health risks. Having your personal medical information with you could mean the difference between life and death, at home or abroad.

Help Receiving Accurate and Speedy Treatment

The World Medical Card could be a lifesaver for those with mild and severe allergies. Membership helps you receive more accurate and speedy treatment at home or abroad.

The World Medical Card® is a user-friendly medical alert card and app that conveniently stores members’ vital medical information. The user-generated data ensures that medical professionals and first responders can quickly access and use the information to provide accurate treatment in an emergency.

Communication is Key

Communication is key in an emergency. Medical professionals can access your World Medical Card information in case of anaphylaxis and unconsciousness. The World Medical Card app version is ideal for less severe reactions because it allows you to locate pharmacies, doctors and hospitals anywhere in the world. In addition, the app can translate your medical information into 135 languages. Members can also show their medication, which medical professionals can understand.

World Health Organization Codes

World Medical Card® is designed using the World Health Organization’s global standards codes (ICD and ATC), encompassing medical conditions recognised worldwide. This means that members can be assured of swift access to their medical information, enhancing the accuracy and speed of care delivery in any part of the globe.

World Medical Card® is available to everyone, from individuals and families to businesses big and small. It offers a sense of security to all, regardless of their medical history. In a medical emergency, it eliminates delays and could save lives, making it an invaluable asset for personal safety.
