Medical Supply Chain Arrangement Services

Our set of supply chain services ensure that medical supplies reach project sites when they are needed. Advisory services are a set of consultancy based services used to pre-qualify potential medical supplies providers, or to advise on a list of medical supplies adapted to a particular project site’s requirements.

Arrangement services assist organisations to arrange the purchase of medical supplies including selection of a suitable supplier, management of orders, invoicing, contracting and other optional requirements.

Medical Services Delivery

We have clear, well-established protocols and procedures for all our medical service activities in Malaysia. Over the years of delivering offshore medical services, we have well-defined protocols and procedures to ensure a quality-integrated approach to the services provided offshore. Our mobilisation and execution strategy focuses on the following core elements, which are detailed below:

Quality of Medical Professionals;
Topside Support (via Kuala Lumpur based Asia Response Centre); and
Quality Management Plan for Medical Services


Quality of Medical Professionals

We will provide medical professionals that comply with our operations standards. We, over the years, have concentrated on three areas: recruiting the right medical personnel with the right skills set, continuously training our personnel to ensure their skills stay current, and managing their performance through well-defined key performance indicators.

We add an additional layer of support and quality to our medical personnel through our topside support (Remote Location Medical Support) programme led by our Kuala Lumpur Assistance Centre, and supported by our Regional Assistance Centre in Singapore.

Quality Management Planning for Medical Services

We have implemented and will continue to refine a highly-defined set of Standard Operating Procedures and Protocols (SOPP). We also adopt our own internal quality control tools to ensure quality service delivery. This internal SOPP has been used to govern the service delivery of our offshore medical services in Malaysia for the last 16 years.

We have developed an internal set of quality control measures and operating standards in each area of our business to ensure consistent and high quality service delivery worldwide. In respect to the delivery of offshore medical services, the Quality Management System implemented by us comprises the following:

Clinical Governance (Medical and Operations Management);
Installation of Relevant Operating Standards;
Installation of Standardised Reporting Tools;
Assistance Centre Medical Support;
Inspections Quality Audits;
Corrective and Preventive Actions; and
Continuous Quality Improvement.

Topside Support through the Kuala Lumpur Based Asia Response Centre Operated by Intl.SOS

Medical Emergency Response Plan

At the planning and mobilisation stage of each mission, we prepare a specific Medical Emergency Response Procedure (MERP) for client's location(s). We have deep knowledge of local conditions and capabilities of local operators (transport, logistic and medical) to provide adequate response to any emergency happening on-site. Thus the MERPs on site are customised to take into account the specific actions to be taken in a specific location to deal with sick or injured patients, or with any emergency situation including multiple casualties. Each medical staff on site is well versed in the MERP procedures and protocols and the topside support physicians in the Kuala Lumpur Assistance Centres are familiar with the MERPs.

Day-to-Day Topside Support

In an incident, the medical professional will always be able to contact the topside support physician. This physician will advise on course of action to be taken in the event of a medical illness or injury case, and will decide, in real time, the course of action in the event of a need to transfer on-shore one or several patients. The capability to have a second opinion and advice and to activate transport and medical providers, real time, without having to invoke a third party to intervene greatly enhances the capability of the medical professional to intervene effectively in any situation faced.

Documentation and Training

Our topside support solution is documented in a manual that is provided to every medical professional. In addition, every medical professional receives Topside Support training pre-deployment in order for them to obtain the full benefit of this programme.

Emergency Drills

We can organise emergency response drills to verify compliance to the MERP and test the provider’s response, assess response time to various types of emergencies, as well as appropriateness of the selected response solution.
