Need urgent medical help away from home?

CrossCare Global Assist™

Medical help when you're away from home.

One contact. Local care. Global options.

Whether you're travelling for business, studying abroad, visiting family, receiving treatment overseas, going on pilgrimage or simply exploring the world, CrossCare helps coordinate the next step when a health problem happens away from home.

Emergency notice

If you or someone with you may be experiencing a life-threatening emergency, contact the local emergency service immediately. CrossCare Global Assist is an international medical coordination service and is not a replacement for emergency services.

Wherever you are

  • Urgent local care

    Guidance to the local emergency system first, then appropriate local care.

  • An appropriate hospital

    Local facilities matched on verified capability, not brand prestige.

  • Insurer coordination

    We help open and document the case with your insurer or assistance company.

  • Family support

    Agreed updates for the people who need to know, with your consent.

  • International specialist access

    A second opinion or specialist review when local clinicians support it.

  • Medical transfer coordination

    Transport and evacuation coordination when it is clinically required and authorised.

  • Recovery and return

    Recovery support, follow-up and records that travel home with you.

These services are coordinated only where CrossCare has operational readiness. We never claim coverage in a country simply because the software supports it.

I need urgent help

Only what we need to help right now. Everything else can come later.

Local stabilisation first, then global options

CrossCare does not assume that your home country is the best destination. Where transfer is considered at all, we compare staying with the local provider, moving to a more capable provider in the same country, returning home or travelling elsewhere — on verified capability, provider acceptance, the treating clinician's assessment, transport feasibility, funding, immigration requirements and your own preference. Commercial relationships never override clinical suitability.

Situations Global Assist is built for

Diaspora traveller

Someone becomes seriously ill while visiting family overseas — local stabilisation, family, insurer, specialist review and transfer only if it becomes appropriate.

Traveller in another region

A resident of one country falls ill while visiting another — verified local care, insurer and records from home.

Patient already treated abroad

A complication during overseas treatment — local care, the treating hospital, coordinator, family and funder stay on one case.

International student

A student abroad becomes seriously ill — local care, family, institution where authorised, insurer and specialist support.

Pilgrim

Illness during pilgrimage — local emergency system, local provider, group or family, insurer and consular coordination.

Corporate traveller

An employee falls ill or is injured on a trip — local care, duty-of-care contact, corporate assistance provider and monitoring.

Tourist

Anyone unwell outside their normal healthcare environment — verified local care, travel insurer, family and recovery.

CrossCare international patient

Protection stays attached to the existing case from home, through travel and treatment, to recovery and return.
