The World Medical Card system allows anyone to easily compile, store and access their own medical information including diagnoses, medications, allergies, emergency contact information and much more. This information is stored on the secure servers of World Medical Center in Oslo, Norway and all information is encrypted to the highest level. Your medical information is actually safer than the money you have in the bank.

The concept is global and incorporates World Health Organization codes, is FDA registered and HIPPA compliant. Help prevent wrong treatment caused by lack of information. This system provides personal safety anywhere you go! Whether traveling on vacation or at the grocery store, you're protected.

Remember, each AAUW member will receive their one-year World Medical Card subscription at no cost!
