If you plan ahead and put together a basic package of your personal medical information, you might just help save your own life. A medical portfolio and your medical evacuation insurance and travel insurance policy make an unbeatable level of protection for you when you travel on business or for pleasure.
Your medical portfolio should include the following personal information, starting with a list of personal contacts that should be reached in case of an emergency. Include your next of kin then a list of family members alongside your relationship to them, and their contact details. Prioritize the list in the order of who should be contacted first.
Include the details of your health care providers, including their contact details. Make sure you include your physician, who will be able to access all your medical records, as well as your other health care providers. Give details of your health insurance and your travel insurance.
Make a list of your medical history and any conditions you suffer from. You should also include anything you are allergic to, and details on any recent surgeries and your blood type. If you take any medications, list them. And don’t forget a list of recent immunizations for travel.
