Doctors around the world organization?

A while back I found a website where doctors from many parts of the globe make themselves available for travelers who find themselves in situations where they may need to talk with a physician. The website stated that the doctors speak english as a language. It gave testimonials from people.<BR><BR>Anyone know of this website? I'd appreciate the website.<BR>Thanks.

I'm not sure which one you found originally; many companies offer the type of service you mention as a paid service. <BR><BR>The IAMIT mentioned above is one that offers the service for free (although the doctors charge their normal fees if you do need to call or see them, of course).<BR><BR>AEA/SOS is an international health care provider that offers 24 hour global medical assistance over the phone (with doctors trained in distance medicine), and they can tell you where to go in a given city (they also provide medical evacuation services) - theirs is a paid service.<BR><BR>Highway to Health is another company that offers insurance and a link to local doctors wherever you are.
