MyTripBuddy

The Allianz Global Assistance MyTripBuddy app gives you immediate access to medical information and support while you are travelling, especially internationally.

If you need to know where a hospital is, the international hospital directory enables you to view a list of hospitals by country. The hospital’s location is shown on a map, using GPS.

There is an easy to use medication dictionary, which helps provide you with the international names of any medication that you have. This name will enable the physician / pharmacy to advise you of the local name and provide you with details of an alternative drug.

There is a fully searchable first aid dictionary in many languages that provides helpful medical terms and tips.

This app is equipped with a full list of emergency contact telephone numbers for police, fire and ambulance services. Again, all of this is available by country.
