Dr Olivier LO said: “At International SOS, our commitment to shaping the global health landscape is
unwavering. As we navigate the complex challenges of the modern world, our focus on strategic
innovation remains at the core of our mission. In prioritising employee wellbeing, we are not just
safeguarding individuals; we are empowering organisations to thrive. Our dedication extends beyond
borders, ensuring that businesses, governments, and institutions can navigate the path to growth and

sustainability with confidence.”

Highlighting the impact of regional conflicts and disease outbreaks, International SOS stated that
over 2,000 assistance cases are attributed to the Ukraine crisis, and more than 100 alerts are linked
to ‘Mpox’. The organisation further asserted that it has observed a notable increase in climate-related

alerts, with a staggering 80% rise in medical alerts, a 30% increase in security alerts, and a fourfold
rise in climate-related special advisories during 2023. These special advisories entail specific
warnings or guidelines issued by agencies and specialised organisations like International SOS,
pertaining to the impact of climate change on health, security, and business operations.

In response to these evolving challenges, International SOS said that it will continue to pioneer

innovative approaches to ensure employee well-being in challenging environments. A key focus has
been the accelerated expansion of TeleHealth services to 35 countries, providing essential
healthcare services remotely. The recently launched ‘SelfService’ TeleConsultation solutions further

demonstrate the organisation's commitment to accessible and quality care on a global scale. These
efforts align with an environmentally conscious mindset, reducing unnecessary travel and associated
environmental impacts.
