Doctors on Call

I enjoyed the May 25 article on preparing for emergencies abroad (“Preparation Can Save Lives in Health Disasters Abroad,” Travel Insider), but was surprised that you didn’t include the organization IAMAT (International Assn. for Medical Assistance to Travelers). IAMAT has doctors in virtually every country of the world who not only speak English but have been trained in North America or Britain, so their medical standards are the same as ours.

IAMAT will send a free membership card (donations welcome), a world directory of doctors, a fee schedule agreed to be charged by these doctors, immunization charts, etc., and can be reached in the U.S. at 417 Center St., Lewiston, NY 14092; tel. (716) 754-4883.
