International SOS, the world's leading medical and travel security assistance company, said it is ramping up efforts to win more clients in China, including those setting to expand in economies related to the Belt and Road Initiative.

"We will further tap the Chinese market which enjoys tremendous growth potential, and offer more professional medical services and travel security management to Chinese companies expanding in countries and regions participating in the Belt and Road Initiative," said Karel van de Pijpekamp, CEO of International SOS China.
