HTH Worldwide, a global health and safety services company, has developed six new mPassport destination-specific iPhone applications for finding quality healthcare services in major cities in East and Southeast Asia.

mPassport can be downloaded onto an Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to help travelers in need of medical services while abroad. According to HTH Worldwide, based in Radnor, Pa., the new apps can:

Find an English-speaking doctor or dentist and request an appointment in Tokyo, Shanghai, Manila, Singapore, Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh City;
Use mapping and GPS functionality to find the shortest route to convenient care;
Translate brand names for medications and key medical terms and phrases; and
Understand health risks and access the right emergency services.

The new apps can be found in the iTunes App Store, the company said.
