Assistance

Specialty Assistance is on-call 24 hours a day to provide travellers with urgent medical and travel assistance anywhere in the world. In addition to a worldwide control centre in London, Specialty Assistance operates through three centres in the USA, South Africa and Thailand. A call to any centre ensures the efficient global response that has become the service hallmark of Specialty Assistance.

Specialty Assistance boasts a worldwide network of over 150 agents and 500 correspondents who are able to provide on-the-spot assistance and reassurance. The network extends to delivery of negotiated medical costs to combat the ever-increasing burden of private medical fees around the world.
