Other factors, such as the robustness of the transport infrastructure, the state of industrial relations, the effectiveness of the security and emergency services and the country’s susceptibility to natural disasters are also considered where they are of sufficient magnitude to impact the overall risk environment for travellers. International SOS assigns medical ratings to countries* by assessing a range of factors including the standard of local medical and dental care available, access to prescription drugs, the presence of serious infectious diseases and cultural, language or administrative barriers. * The term ‘country’ refers to traditional countries or independent states, as well as other geographic entities including dependencies, territories and areas of special sovereignty.
