Allianz Partners has broadened its reach by offering international private medical insurance (IPMI) and employee benefits in Kuwait, following a new collaboration with Warba Insurance and Reinsurance Company.

In an exclusive comment to Health & Protection, Allianz clarified that it has not acquired any ownership in Warba. The insurer is now providing options such as captive, pooling, and global underwriting solutions in the Kuwaiti market.

“This expanded partnership will enable integrated solutions across international private medical insurance and employee benefits,” Allianz stated.

The company also highlighted its ongoing efforts to extend its global network. “Allianz Partners is constantly expanding its network of partners in the MENA region, and globally, to offer the best coverage to global clients who are seeking a single provider to manage their employee health and benefits programs across multiple countries,” it added.

New research from Simplyhealth showed that a third of UK employees are not using their workplace health benefits at all, with many citing barriers to access.
