Occupational Travel Medical Consultancy

High health care standards for workers traveling or living abroad

In today’s interconnected world and global economy, your organization may require its employees to travel as part of their job responsibilities or even to live at a distant location for weeks, months or years during the course of an international project. The health and safety of these occupational travelers is important to their professional performance, to the smooth functioning of operations, to the success of your business and to the general motivation of the workforce.

Many employees and managers need to travel for work reasons. Workers who travel as part of their job may face health issues that on-site employees experience less frequently or they may be exposed to an environment where they encounter more and different risks (infection, extreme climate conditions, etc.) in an area with a less sophisticated healthcare infrastructure than in their home country.

Your Benefits
