HAYAH and APRIL International launch UAE IPMI partnership
APRIL International has formed a partnership with insurer HAYAH to offer a new suite of insurance products to customers in the United Arab Emirates
The collaboration’s first product will be an exclusive international private medical insurance (IPMI) offering targeted at Dubai’s large expatriate community – with plans to extend to other locations in the region in future.
The two companies stated that they would work to simplify and expand access to high-quality, customer-centric health protection across the UAE.
“Through this alliance, HAYAH is delivering comprehensive, flexible health coverage for individuals, families, and businesses – locally and internationally – through a fully digital experience,” said Mohamed Seghir, CEO of HAYAH.
Romain Di Meglio, Head of IPMI for Asia and the Middle East at APRIL Group, added: “By combining our global expertise with HAYAH’s digital-first approach, this partnership marks a significant step towards providing comprehensive and flexible international private medical insurance that meets the diverse needs of the UAE’s population.”
APRIL International is also looking to acquire some or all of Now Health’s IPMI business.
