Healix provides a comprehensive, integrated, global assistance offering to support the medical, security and travel assistance needs of business travellers, expatriates and local nationals wherever they may be located globally. Our services fall into three categories;

At the centre of our security services is the Global Security Operations Centre (GSOC). Operating 24/7/365, the GSOC is staffed by a specialist team of security professionals and crisis management experts who are highly practiced in the risks associated with global travel. They provide clients with timely, relevant, actionable intelligence and advice using cutting-edge technology to provide location specific insight and monitoring of incidents.
We work with our clients to help evaluate the security risks their global operations face, providing valuable advice on minimising those risks and guiding them through the process of building a safer and more secure environment for their employees, project, personnel and site facilities. Providing access to highly specialist consultants with local knowledge and experience of challenging environments, we help clients develop risk mitigation plans appropriate to the level of risk acceptable to them.
