INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The COVID-19 pandemic has caused organizations to think differently about how their employees and customers can travel safely. International Medical Group, Inc.® (IMG®) has enhanced its product offerings to support organizations with the necessary planning and research for safe international travel.
"Preparation is going to become a much more significant part of risk assessment and it will be pivotal for all companies that travel internationally.

IMG's unique, new assistance services are designed to support clients as they make plans for 2020 and beyond. The planning and medical consulting services were designed in three categories:

Deployment Planning: Monitoring and understanding of entry and quarantine requirements, vaccination needs, and prescription medication options.
