World Medical Card and Expat Academy
In a world where the best talent doesn't always live in the same country as the headquarters, global mobility has become a major factor in corporate recruitment and retention. Global mobility enables an organisation's ability to seamlessly move its employees across international borders.Expat Academy has built an extensive, diverse community of over 2,000 corporate global mobility professionals and offers various memberships to enhance the process and community.
World Medical Card is a global tool uniquely designed to help its members efficiently manage, store, and recall their medical data. Unlike other tools, its 2-in-1 solution combines a secure app with a physical card to ensure access to critical medical information internationally. This enables better medical communication, faster treatment, and peace of mind for users, whether facing severe or mild conditions. When expats are learning a new language, the WMC app stands out by translating medicines and conditions into more than 100 languages and allowing file uploads and multiple contact types—not just emergency contacts.
World Medical Card distinguishes itself by using standardised World Health Organization’s (WHO) ICD-11 (diagnoses) and ATC (medications) codes, which are accepted globally. This ensures that any doctor—trained in London, Manila, or Copenhagen—can instantly understand a member's health status, removing language barriers and the need for a translator. This universal system is a unique feature that enables global medical professionals to accurately interpret WMC members’ medical data in emergencies at any location.
Protecting Teams 24/7
In the current job market, a salary alone may not be enough to attract and keep talented employees. Organisations increasingly support employee well-being through carefully designed benefits packages. These benefits can improve workplace culture and employee morale, contributing to business performance. Health and safety remain priorities. Companies are now including the World Medical Card in their benefits packages to safeguard staff at all times. The World Medical Card provides protection, may help reduce sick pay costs, and demonstrates a commitment to employee well-being.
Expat Academy's confidence in the World Medical Card supports global mobility for organisations worldwide and enables teams and individuals to keep their private medical information at hand should anything happen.
Expat Academy said, "We’re thrilled to have the World Medical Card as one of our trusted suppliers. We have built an extensive and diverse community of thousands of Global Mobility professionals from around the world, and the team behind WMC will surely bring fresh ideas and perspectives to our community.”
Global mobility needs a community where the focus on health and wellness extends beyond insurance, and individuals' well-being is never compromised.
