Overview The Remote Locum Doctor provides emergency medical care including stabilizing patients in the event of a medical emergency on project sites which are very remote from high-quality emergency care infrastructure. In addition, the Locum Doctor provides primary healthcare to the site workforce including diagnosis skills, the ability to prescribe a wide range of pharmaceuticals and deliver health talks. The International SOS Doctor is fully supported by a comprehensive management system to significantly enhance on-site capabilities, starting from a robust recruitment procedure to the back-up of a team of experienced doctors in case of a major medical emergency.
