Anvil Assist launches
Anvil Group, a global travel and operational risk company, has announced that it is launching a new in-house medical assistance service. Anvil Assist will be based out of Anvil’s UK-sited global operations centre, and provide 24/7 multilingual medical and security assistance for clients anywhere in the world; this new initiative will, according to Anvil, make it the only provider to give clients access to fully integrated end-to-end in-house risk management with clinician-delivered medical assistance provision.
“Having partnered with medical assistance providers for many years, we understand how important this service is for clients,” said Matthew Judge, Group Managing Director at Anvil. “However, clients are now demanding a far more joined-up approach to medical and security assistance provision and rightly so. It’s taken a significant investment for us to bring our own clinicians on board, but it’s something we are passionate about doing and we’re extremely proud of the service we can now provide.”
Anvil Assist’s emergency response team, composed of experienced multilingual first responders and clinical professors, will be led by Dr Juliane Kause, a fellow of the UK’s Royal College of Physicians and an acute and critical care specialist.
“We’re thrilled to have Juliane on board as our Chief Medical Officer,” said Judge. “Her critical care and medical management experience will help us to deliver a service that really is second to none.”
