A Resource About Medical Resource for Travelers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are contemplating any travel abroad, and have been worrying about
medical care in an emergency, then grab your scissors and clip this article
now. Finding yourself in strange surroundings while you are physically
distressed may provoke more anxiety than need be, and can be avoided if you
are prepared with the information about the location of English speaking
physicians and medical facilities that are prepared to help you. In 1960
cardiologist Dr. Vincenzo Marcolongo started an organization that provides the
ultimate medical resource to the traveler. It is called the International
Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers (IAMAT) and it can serve as
your worldwide link to medical services that have been screened to meet
standards that are compatible with those in this country. IAMAT membership
and directory of affiliated institutions are free upon request. To enroll
write to IAMAT, 417 Center Street, Lewiston, NY 14092, then carefully read the
material to learn of the fee schedule and services that are available to you.
