Travel insurance specialist World Nomads has announced a strategic partnership with medical network Air Doctor to connect travellers with local doctors around the world. The arrangement means policyholders can now find and book appointments with doctors in over 75 countries for non-emergency medical care.

Jonathan Frankham, general manager UK and Europe at World Nomads, said: “We are excited to bring the Air Doctor platform to our customers. This innovative service aligns with our mission to empower travellers to explore the world with peace of mind, knowing they have access to reliable healthcare when they need it most.

“Air Doctor is a welcome addition for policyholders as it’s seamless, cashless and claimless, and transcends language barriers. It’s also a welcome addition for the destinations we insure against, as it reduces the stress and burden on their healthcare systems.”
