History
Pascal Rey-Herme, a doctor, and Arnaud Vaissié, a businessman, founded AEA International a company registered in Indonesia (also known as PT Asih Eka Abadi) in 1985 to provide medical assistance services to expatriate communities and international organisations in Southeast Asia. Over the following decade, the company grew from its base in Singapore and Indonesia into a pan-Asian corporation, with operations in Hong Kong, Australia, Japan and mainland China. Key clients included oil and gas companies with operations in remote locations.
In 1998, AEA International acquired International SOS Assistance, a group of corporations founded in 1974 by Claude Giroux a Canadian entrepreneur, creating the largest medical assistance company in the world.[2] Initially, it was known as AEA International SOS, and was renamed International SOS in 1999. The acquisition extended the company beyond Asia.[citation needed]
In 2009, the company acquired a majority stake in Abermed, a UK-based provider of occupational health and remote medical services to the energy sector.[16] In 2010, it developed a strategic alliance with RMSI, an international rapid deployment medical and rescue service, with activities in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia and Pakistan.
In 2011, it merged with VIPdesk, a North American provider of concierge services, customer care and loyalty programs, acquired the medical supplies division of SMI (Service Médical International), acquired of L.E.

In 2014, it launched Response Services Australia, a provider of emergency response, rescue and recovery services, entered a partnership with AMAS medical Services in India, acquired Aeromed in Mozambique, and created strategic partnership with West African Rescue Association (WARA), a clinic and medical services company in West Africa.[17]
In 2016, it entered a strategic partnership with Everbridge.[citation needed] In that same year, International SOS became the first company in the world to be ISO/TS 13131 certified, dealing in the processes and practices of telehealth care.[18]
In 2017, it entered a Duty of Care integration with Rocketrip, started joint venture partnerships with Global Excel and Iqarus, acquired International Health Solutions[19] and launched a digital consultation service from Aberdeen Health Centre.[20] It also started the world's first emotional support service for the mobile workforce.
In 2018, International SOS partnered with Al Rushaid to form a joint venture, providing medical services tailored to the construction, infrastructure and entertainment industries, while also providing services to the Saudi government.[21]
In 2019, it took full responsibility of the services it was previously providing as part of the Control Risks joint venture, to provide its consolidated Security Services suite to clients.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it rapidly expanded its TeleConsultation services, part of its TeleHealth services, to over 30 countries.
In December 2022, the firm signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the United Arab Emirates to strengthen cooperation and partnership in providing health care services to UAE nationals abroad.[22]
The firm has also provided services to major sporting events such as the Summer Olympic Games in 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012, and the 2010 Asian Games.[40]
In 2006, International SOS's medical transports became the first direct flights between mainland China and Taiwan to be flown since 1949.[41]
