Our Mission
The World Medical Card was established to prevent delays and improve accuracy in receiving medical treatment worldwide.
Our mission is to improve communication between medical professionals and people with medical conditions. The World Medical Card provides a comprehensive membership solution for individuals with medical conditions, offering a secure health app and a physical medical ID card.
"Our vision is that nobody dies because of lack of critical medical information, and our mission is to provide our members with lifesaving information to give them peace of mind."
Trond Rørnes, Managing Director.
Our Vision
At World Medical Card, we want to see an end to unnecessary delays and inaccuracies when receiving medical treatment at home or abroad. As a result, we developed it using the World Health Organization's global standards codes. Our mission is to help medical personnel understand members' medical conditions anywhere globally.
WMC helps in emergency situations and can save lives.
Our secure app can translate your medical information into 135 languages if needed. In non-emergency situations, it can also help you locate doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies wherever you are.
Our sealed physical medical ID card is ideal for situations where power or the internet is unavailable. A medical professional can obtain your card and access your medical history to ensure speedy and accurate treatment.
Our Story
While travelling to Spain, the father of the founder, Arne Veidung, encountered difficulty in obtaining the essential medication he required, namely the heart medicine Marevan, unaware that its active ingredient is known as Warfarin, resulting in him not receiving the necessary treatment due to the variance in brand names of medications across different countries.
"I would like to see the senseless communication problem that ultimately can cause deaths to disappear forever,"
By empowering individuals to manage their medical information proactively, the World Medical Card aims to enhance the speed and accuracy of medical care.
