FCM Travel Solutions launches new digital health programme
DUBAI, February 1, 2021
FCM Travel Solutions, one of the largest travel management companies in the world, has partnered with Medcare Hospitals & Medical Centres to provide customers access to discounted rates for PCR/Serology tests and Nasal Swab/Deep Throat Saliva tests.
The new service, available at the Medcare Hospital Al Safa Dubai, comes at a time when Emirates and Etihad Airlines announce a partnership with IATA to trial the IATA Travel Pass in the region. Passengers can create a ‘digital passport’ to verify if their pre-travel test or vaccination meets the requirements of the destination. They will also be able to share the test and vaccination certificates with authorities and airlines to facilitate travel. Similar to an FCM initiative launched in Asia recently, FCM sees this as a next step once the trial period is over, which will also enable travellers to manage all travel documentation digitally and seamlessly throughout the travel experience.
