We currently in the process of upgrading our Flying Health Program into a mobile APP  for both long-haul travellers and crew to help educate and make users more aware of what the WHO – WRIGHT Project highlights i.e. the increased risk of air travel – related venous thromboembolism (ATVT – blood clots).

We looking to provide a simple and practical “wellness solution” through this program for a global problem where health data suggests that over 150,000 air travellers per year develop ATVT and will go on and may develop further complications related to their primary diagnosis. We must also take note of the approx. 7500 that succumb to fatal Pulmonary Embolism (PE) each year.

Go to www.flyinghealthprogram.com for more information and remember that long-haul VTE is preventable and it all starts with identifying your risks…

Good health to you all.
