International SOS enters into partnership with Amas in India
International SOS has got into a strategic partnership with AMAS Medical Services in India. It has invested in a minority stake in the AMAS business, which is based in Mumbai. By joining forces, the companies aim to align their service portfolios to the benefit of their Indian and global members with Indian operations. Specifically, the synergies exist in the oil and gas sector, as well as the aviation industry via International SOS’ subsidiary MedAire. Whilst the companies will continue to be operated independently, they will be combining their service offering in this market to provide clients with a broader choice of services. Dr Anil Mehra, CEO and MD of AMAS will also become Chairman of the International SOS India Medical Advisory Board, and a member of the International Medical Advisory Board, which comprises prominent medical members from International SOS on a regional and worldwide basis.
Dr Mehra said, “We are excited to be formally partnering with International SOS. With the partnership we are coordinating our service offering, specifically in the oil and gas sector, as well as the aviation industry. Together, we very much look forward to expanding our high level medical services throughout the region to help our clients.”
Nicolas Bertsche, General Manager India at International SOS added, “With this partnership we are able to combine our expertise. Dr Anil Mehra and his team bring outstanding local insights and relationships complementing International SOS’ global footprint and strong proprietary capabilities. By partnering, we are committing our combined strengths to India and its growing and buoyant client needs.”
