Every day, millions of International SOS members put their trust in us to provide solutions that help them wherever they live or travel, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Through our worldwide network of alarm centers, clinics, and health and logistics providers, we offer local expertise, preventative advice, and emergency assistance during critical illness, accident, or civil unrest. With over 10,000 employees working in 70 countries, we work in partnership with businesses, governments and non-governmental organizations and offer international standards of medical care. This company, AEA International, was founded in 1985. Starting with just 15 staff, AEA International grew rapidly from its base in Singapore and Indonesia into a pan-Asian corporation, creating operating companies in Hong Kong, Australia, Japan and mainland China. In the early nineties, AEA International opened a series of new alarm centers and began to provide medical and security information online and manage travel data. In 1998, AEA International acquired International SOS, and the company was renamed International SOS.
