About the programme
Welcome to your International Healthcare Programme!
The International Healthcare Programme is a health protection programme that provides you and, in some cases, your family members with the following benefits:
1
Access to an Expert Second Medical Opinion available for you and your direct family members
This service offers the review of any medical condition considered to be of a critical, chronic or degenerative nature as well as those that affect the ability of an individual to continue performing their normal daily activities.
At the core of the service is an expert database of over 53,000 of the world’s leading specialists, which uses a peer-nominated methodology to build a respected and unique network of specialists who are internationally recognised as the best in their field.

Precision CancerCare™ - Access to precision medicine for certain cancer diagnoses
(available only for employees, not for direct family members, except testing for potential hereditary mutations).
A service at the forefront of medical advances in the fight against cancer, precision medicine, provides individuals diagnosed with certain forms of cancer, the possibility to have a biopsy sample analysed by the most advanced laboratories, using molecular profiling techniques such as Next Generation Sequencing.
The results are translated by an Expert Medical Board, made up of leading geneticists and oncologists, into a personalised (targeted) treatment plan, with specific treatment recommendations compatible with the unique genetic profile of each individual’s cancer.
Where the molecular profiling analysis detects a heredity mutation which can be passed on to family members, direct family members will also be tested, and, if positive, a session can be arranged with a genetic counsellor.
