International Medical Aid
If international travel is in your future, you may want to consider joining the International Association for Medical Assistance to Travellers (IAMAT), a non-profit membership organization that provides information about travel medicine and maintains a network of English speaking doctors in countries around the world.
IAMAT was founded in 1960, by Dr. Vincenzo Marcolongo, and since then has become a leader in travel medicine. Its physicians network includes general practitioners and specialists in hospitals and clinics around the world that have agreed to treat IAMAT members for set rates. An office call, for example, is $55. The physicians all speak English, and have had medical training in North America or Europe. IAMAT continually inspects the clinics to make sure high standards are maintained.
Membership in IAMAT is free, although a donation is appreciated. All donations are used to continue the mission of coordinating medical services worldwide for travelers.
