About Ewen McLay

Iqarus is an independently managed subsidiary within the International SOS group of companies. This approach preserves our ability to respond quickly and flexibly to the specialized needs of our clients in the most challenging environments. Together with International SOS, we are the world’s leading medical and travel security services company. We care for clients across the globe and operate from over locations in over 90 countries, employing over 11,500 multi-disciplinary staff which includes over 5,400 healthcare professionals. We have a unique global capability, including 27 globally linked 24/7 operations centers and an extensive network of medical clinics and facilities. Our natural operating environments are often affected by conflict or rapid onset disasters and are characterised by a lack of adequate local or national medical infrastructure. These include: • Underdeveloped or broken national health and medical infrastructure. • Security and operating risks. • Endemic health and medical risks. • Remote at the local level by restricted freedom of movement. • Remote from points of definite care internationally. • Complexity at the points of transition in the patient care pathway. • Long transit times between medical facilities. • A diverse, dispersed and changing Population at Risk. • Complex local licensing and import procedures. • Complex supply chain issues - to ensure internationally accepted standards are maintained. • A requirement to deliver international standards of care - consistently. We go where others cannot.
