The situation
Every year, thousands of French travellers are hospitalised abroad. The majority have no simple way to convey their medical history to a team that speaks no French and has no access to Mon Espace Santé.
Drug allergies, chronic treatments, pre-existing conditions — all this information is vital in an emergency. Without it, the doctor prescribes blind, with the risk of dangerous interactions.
Reminder. Anaphylactic shock to penicillin happens in under 5 minutes. The time to verify your international health card doesn't fit that window.
