The trip to a clinic is the most private journey you will make.

People travel for treatment to Switzerland, Germany, London, Paris, Dubai and the United States because the medicine is good. What the clinic does not provide is everything around it: the arrival at an airport where someone might recognise you, the car that takes you to a building whose name says what you are there for, the hours a family member spends waiting, the days afterwards when you are not yourself, and the simple fact that a treatment abroad is information that competitors, press and sometimes family members would pay to know.

Algoz covers that part. A licensed close protection officer, female or male as you prefer, meets the flight, moves you between the hotel and the clinic without the trip being visible, waits through appointments, handles the hospital's own security and the hotel, and is there on the days afterwards when being alone is the hardest part. We are not a medical provider and we never see your records; we protect the person and the privacy of the journey. Tell us the city and the dates.

  • One licensed officer, female or male, who reads as a relative or an assistant
  • The trip kept private: bookings, cars, hotels and the clinic's own staff told the minimum
  • Airport, hotel and clinic moves planned around appointments and recovery
  • An officer who waits, and a driver who is always outside
  • Family and children travelling with the patient covered on the same brief
  • We are not a medical provider: the clinic treats, we protect and keep it quiet
Three levels

As much presence as the treatment needs.

Level A

Arrival and the clinic days

Met airside, driven to the hotel and the clinic on routes that do not advertise the destination, an officer who waits through each appointment, a car outside, and the hospital security briefed on who may approach.

Level B

Through the stay

Level A plus the recovery: the days at the hotel or a rented residence afterwards, the follow-up appointments, the pharmacy, the family who arrives, and an officer who is present without being a nurse or a guard.

Level C

High profile or high risk

For patients who are recognised, for treatments that would make a story, or where the diagnosis itself creates risk: a low-profile officer close through the day, the floor and the residence covered, the press and the curious kept at a distance they do not notice.

What we provide

Around the treatment, not instead of it.

Privacy

The trip itself, kept quiet

Hotels booked under the name you choose, cars that do not stop at the clinic's front door, a clinic liaison who knows your name and nobody else who does. No itinerary with the word clinic in it.

Arrival

Airport to hotel to clinic

Met airside, luggage and wheelchair assistance where needed, a vehicle at the kerb, and the first move to the hotel or straight to the clinic planned around the appointment.

Presence

An officer who waits

Through consultations, scans, surgery and the hours a family spends in a corridor: someone capable who knows the building, speaks the language and keeps the people who should not approach from approaching.

Recovery

The days afterwards

The hotel suite or a rented residence after discharge, the pharmacy run, the follow-up appointment, the first walk. Covered quietly, with a female officer where the patient prefers one.

Family

Those who travel with you

A spouse, children, parents: covered on the same brief, with a driver for them while you are in the clinic and an officer who can take a child to the park while you are not able to.

Flights

Medical flights through partners

Where a flight with medical crew is required, we arrange it through licensed air-ambulance and private aviation partners. See emergency private jet evacuation.

01 —

Switzerland and Germany: the European clinics

Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich, Munich, Heidelberg and the private clinics of the German and Swiss lake towns treat patients from the Gulf, Russia, Africa and the Americas every week. Officers are licensed in the canton or the Land, know the clinics and their security, and move a patient between the airport, the hotel and the clinic without the journey being visible. Arabic and Russian are spoken on request. See Geneva and Zurich.

London, Paris and the specialists

Harley Street, the London private hospitals, the Paris clinics and the specialists who see patients from everywhere. The risk in these cities is recognition: the hotel lobby, the clinic door, the photographer who already knows. A low-profile officer, SIA-licensed in the United Kingdom, handles arrival, the clinic days and the recovery with the hotel and the clinic told only what they must. See London and Paris.

Protection in London
03 —

Dubai, the United States and the long-haul patient

Dubai treats the region; Houston, New York, Boston, Rochester and Los Angeles treat the world. For a long-haul patient the journey is the hard part: the flight, the arrival when you are unwell, the weeks of stay, the family who comes and goes. Licensed partners in the UAE and in each American state provide the officer, the driver and the clinic liaison, with Algoz as the single contact throughout. See Dubai and services for US clients.

How it works

Brief, officer, a trip that nobody sees.

Step 01

The brief, under NDA

The city, the clinic, the dates and who travels. We never ask for the diagnosis, and we never see a record. Everything is held under NDA before a name is shared.

Step 02

Officer matching

Female or male, the language you want, experience with hospitals and with patients. You see the profile before anyone travels.

Step 03

The plan

Hotel or residence, cars, routes, the clinic's own security, who may approach and who may not, and what happens if an appointment moves. Written down for you and the family.

Step 04

Arrival

Met airside, assistance where needed, a vehicle at the kerb and the first move planned around how you feel, not around a schedule.

Step 05

The clinic days

An officer who waits, a driver outside, the floor liaised with, the family covered. Nothing visible, nothing said to anyone who does not need to know.

Step 06

Recovery and return

The days afterwards covered at the level you want, the follow-up handled, and the journey home arranged with the same care as the arrival.

Excellence, Discreetly Delivered

“The clinic will remember your case. Nobody else should remember you were there.”

Indicative cost

What medical travel protection costs.

A licensed close protection officer is from EUR 850 per day in Europe, the market base, and from USD 900 per day in the Gulf and the United States, for twelve-hour cover. The security driver with an executive vehicle is quoted separately and is usually the most useful addition on clinic days. Longer stays are quoted as a programme, which costs less per day than a series of short assignments.

Medical flights, air ambulance and the clinic's own services are arranged through partners and passed through at cost. You receive one figure before you commit, with no obligation, and we will tell you when a driver and an officer on call is the honest answer rather than daily cover.

Medical travel, protected

Tell us the city and the dates.

Share the city, the clinic and when you travel. We reply with a plan and a figure, under NDA from the first message, and the officer can be female or male as you choose.

Where it applies

The journeys patients ask us about most.

Surgery

A procedure abroad

Arrival, the pre-operative days, the hours of the operation covered for the family, and the recovery at the hotel or a residence afterwards.

Diagnosis

A second opinion nobody knows about

A consultation in another country precisely because nobody at home should know. Booked and moved so that it stays that way.

Long treatment

Weeks or months of therapy

A residence rented near the clinic, a driver and an officer on a rhythm, family coming and going, and one contact throughout.

Parents

An older parent treated abroad

A father or mother treated in Switzerland or London while the family is elsewhere, with a capable adult at their side every day. See senior travel protection.

Public figures

Treatment that would make a story

For those who are recognised, the hotel, the clinic door and the press are the risk. Covered at the level the profile needs.

Women

A female officer throughout

For women travelling alone for treatment, a female officer who reads as a friend, through the clinic and the days after. See female travel protection.

Where we deliver

Wherever the treatment is.

Licensed partners in Geneva, Zurich, Munich, London, Paris, Dubai, New York, Miami and Los Angeles, with one contact for the patient and the family throughout. See private travel.

Good to Know

Medical Travel Protection: Frequently Asked Questions

What is medical travel protection?

A licensed close protection officer and a plan around a private medical trip abroad: the arrival, the moves between hotel and clinic, the hours of waiting, the recovery days and the journey home, with the trip itself kept private. Algoz is not a medical provider and never sees your records. The clinic treats; we protect the person and the privacy of the journey.

Why would I need protection for a medical trip?

Three reasons clients give us. Privacy: a treatment abroad is information that press, competitors and sometimes family would pay to know, and a hotel lobby or a clinic door is where it leaks. Capability: when you are unwell, or waiting for someone who is, a capable adult who knows the city and the building changes everything. Family: children and parents travelling with a patient need someone who can look after them while you cannot.

Can the officer be a woman?

Yes. Female close protection officers are a standing part of our network, and for women travelling alone for treatment, and for the days of recovery, a female officer who reads as a friend is usually the right answer. The choice is always yours.

Which clinics and cities do you cover?

The private clinics of Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich, Munich, Heidelberg and the Swiss and German lake towns; Harley Street and the London private hospitals; Paris; Dubai and Abu Dhabi; and in the United States Houston, New York, Boston, Rochester and Los Angeles, through licensed partners in each state. If we cannot deliver to our standard somewhere, we say so.

How much does it cost?

A licensed officer is from EUR 850 per day in Europe, the market base, and from USD 900 per day in the Gulf and the United States, for twelve-hour cover. A security driver with an executive vehicle is quoted separately and is the most useful addition on clinic days. Longer stays are quoted as a programme. Medical flights and the clinic's services are passed through at cost. You receive one figure before you commit.

How do you keep the trip private?

Hotels are booked under the name you choose, cars do not stop at the clinic's front door, the clinic liaison is one named person, the hotel is told nothing about why you are in the city, and no itinerary ever carries the word clinic. Every officer, driver and assistant signs an NDA before a date, a name or an address is shared.

Do you provide nurses or medical care?

No. We are a protection and concierge house, not a medical provider, and we never see your records. Where a nurse, a medical flight or an air ambulance is required we arrange it through licensed medical partners and pass it through at cost, and our officer works alongside them.

Can you arrange a medical flight or air ambulance?

Yes, through licensed air-ambulance and private aviation partners, with our officer on the ground at both ends. See our page on emergency private jet evacuation.

Can the officer wait with my family during surgery?

Yes. The hours a family spends in a corridor are part of the brief: someone who knows the building, speaks the language, deals with the hospital's own security and keeps the people who should not approach from approaching. An officer can also take a child out while a parent is in the clinic.

What about the recovery days?

They are often when protection matters most, because you are not yourself and you are visible. The hotel suite or a rented residence, the pharmacy, the follow-up appointment and the first walk are covered at the level you choose, with a female officer where the patient prefers one.

How much notice do you need?

At least seven days, which is the time it takes to match the right officer, plan around the clinic and brief the hotel. Treatment dates are usually known in advance, so most clients give us more. Under 48 hours carries an urgency fee and no guarantee, and nobody places a licensed officer in 24 hours.

Why Algoz rather than the clinic's own concierge or a local security firm?

Because the clinic's concierge works for the clinic and knows exactly why you are there, and because from outside a patient cannot tell a well-licensed, well-run security firm from one that merely says it is. Algoz has already done that selection, matches the officer to you, puts everyone under NDA, keeps the trip invisible and gives you one responsible contact in your own language, in Europe, the Gulf and the United States alike.

A Trusted Single Point of Contact

Close protection, handled by one accountable team in Geneva.

Principals and the people who plan for them - executive assistants, personal assistants, chiefs of staff, family offices and the agencies and producers who book on a client’s behalf - brief Algoz once and we coordinate the rest. We speak the operational language of security leads and the discretion language of private offices, so nothing is lost in translation between the two.

Every detail in Geneva is delivered by accredited, locally licensed close protection officers (male and female), armoured transport where the threat picture warrants it, and 24/7 operations - coordinated and quality-controlled by Algoz under NDA. UHNWI and HNWI principals, royal and family offices, executives, celebrities and public figures rely on Algoz as a credible, trustworthy first call.
