International SOS

Meet International SOS

We are the global leader in international health and security risk management.

We fully understand that the health and security of employees is imperative to the successful operation and growth of organizations. Especially after COVID-19, health is firmly on the leadership agenda. Even a minor health or security issue, if unchecked, can quickly escalate into a more serious problem. Our purpose is to help keep employees healthy and safe, so organizations can focus on their core activities.

The world is a wildly varied and fast-changing place. When it comes to the health, safety, security and wellbeing of employees, every location is different, and every organization has different needs. We recognize that there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to workforce health and security. That’s why our approach is consultative.

We work with organizations to assess the risks associated with every working environment, from a corporate office to a remote oil rig. We design robust and customized preventive programs to protect people. When prevention is not possible, we offer access to our 24/7 Assistance Service.

Be it a pandemic, a safety concern, or a mental health issue affecting an employee, we are there for them. Our teams of multilingual doctors, nurses, security and logistics experts are ready to assist, anytime and anywhere.

We see ourselves as a trusted advisor: there to help organizations prepare for all eventualities and build that crucial workforce resilience. Protecting people is our priority.

International SOS’ story began in the early 1980s in Jakarta, when Dr. Pascal Rey-Herme and senior businessman Arnaud Vaissié spotted a real need while working at the French Ambassy: How to deliver international standards of healthcare and emergency medical assistance to the wider expatriate community and international organizations in the region.

In 1985, they set up AEA International. Its purpose was to provide clients with access to local assistance services, clinics, centers of medical excellence and evacuations when needed. Starting with just 15 staff, AEA International grew rapidly from its base in Singapore and Indonesia into a pan-Asian corporation. In 1998, AEA International acquired International SOS Assistance, and the business was renamed International SOS.

Over the years, International SOS spread across the globe to now count 13,000 security, medical, logistics and digital experts standing by to provide support and assistance from over 1,200 locations in 90 countries, serving more than 9,000 clients globally (76% of the Fortune Global 100 and 65% of the Fortune Global 500 companies).
