MedicAlert Foundation NZ

About

MedicAlert® is a service-based organisation whose mission is to save lives by providing medical information in emergency situations.

Story

MedicAlert® Internationally has been saving lives for over 50 years.

In emergency situations, responders and clinicians need a simple way to get more information about you, that's why they check for the famous, body worn MedicAlert Emblem. They know your vital information comes directly from your doctor so they can trust it and act on it immediately.

MedicAlert offers more than a piece of jewellery - it offers greater peace of mind through a full range of support services including:
• the ability to keep your medical records up-to-date at all times
• a 24/7 emergency hotline to support first responders with information on your condition
• a unique medical ID number connected to your specific medical information
• a membership services office available during business hours
• a medical emergency wallet card (which can be renewed yearly).

Approximately 80% of New Zealand General Practitioners utilise MedicAlert services to protect their patients.

MedicAlert provides worldwide protection. Whereever you go - MedicAlert provides piece of mind.
