WMA - International SOS Joint Venture Inc. | Spring 2025

WMA’s partnership with International SOS, formed in 2020, is working to deliver ambulance services and health outreach programs to the thirteen Mi’kmaq Nations in NS. International SOS is the world’s leading health, wellness, and emergency services company. They have been working with Indigenous communities in Canada for over 17 years, with over 37 Indigenous joint ventures across Canada. The partnership also works alongside various industries in the Atlantic region to provide Integrated Healthcare and Emergency Services to remote worksites, such as mines, energy, and construction.

The community-based medical transportation service is aimed at closing gaps in medical response and to improve health outcomes to community members. Discussions are also underway to expand outreach programs that will bring health education and preventative services directly to the communities. These initiatives will also provide meaningful employment opportunities for community healthcare workers.
