Born from care, built for complexity
Healix International was founded in 1992 by two doctors who set out to fix global healthcare
They’d seen too many people let down by fragmented systems: poor coordination, weak clinical oversight, and slow decision-making when it mattered most.
So they created a new kind of organisation - one that combines international medical and security expertise with direct operational control.
What began as a small, independent company has grown into a global health and risk management business
We now support organisations in every corner of the world. But we’re still privately owned. Still independent. And still guided by the belief that protecting people is a responsibility, not just a service.
Support across borders, time zones and crises
We help organisations protect their people - wherever they operate - from business travellers in low-risk cities to aid workers in high-risk regions. We specialise in medical assistance, travel risk management and security services.
We’re there when someone gets sick in a remote location. When a family needs support navigating unfamiliar healthcare systems. When a security alert becomes an evacuation. We don’t just provide advice, we deliver action.
Our Values
What we stand for
We put health and wellbeing above everything else and deliver our services in a way that prioritises people and their needs.
-
Led by initiative
Independence is necessary for much of what we do. The situations we deal with don’t play by the rules – so we don’t either. We give people the tools to find solutions and the freedom to make the right decisions.
-
People above protocols
We always remember there’s a human being on the other end of the line. They may be scared, emotional and needing to talk to someone. While we have processes and structure, we always prioritise the needs of the people we help.
-
Here to serve
You’ve made a simple promise to your employees and customers: that their health and wellbeing will be protected. It’s our job to keep that promise for you – and we never forget it.
Our Difference
Why we’re not like everyone else
It comes down to three things: our people, how we think, and how we act when it really matters.
-
People
Built on clinical expertise – not commercial margins. Our people come from medical, security, and risk backgrounds, and stay hands-on from start to finish – you’ll often know them by name. Backed by a leading academy programme, they’re expertly trained to deliver consistent, confident support when it matters most.
-
Intelligence
Intelligence guides everything we do. We monitor global events and connect the dots fast. It’s not about endless alerts, but context - knowing what matters and what to do next. That’s why you can call us and ask, “What do you think?” and get a clear answer back.
-
Crisis response
We’re built for agility. We respond from where the person is, not just where they’ll depart. Medical and security teams work side by side for a joined-up response. We cut out middlemen, going straight to the doctor, driver, or protection officer – so we stay in control and keep you informed.
Our Customers
Trusted by organisations with complex, global needs
We work with multinational companies, governments, NGOs and insurers - all with duty of care obligations they take seriously. They choose us because we combine medical and security expertise with decisive, human support.
Our Leadership
Experienced. Accountable. Hands-on.
In our world, leadership can’t be distant. You need people who’ve made real-world decisions in high-stakes environments. Who know what good care looks like. Who understand the pressure of protecting lives, reputations and operations.
Our executive team is involved in daily decision-making, crisis management, and long-term planning for our clients.
