“These are interesting and critical times in the travel landscape. How we travel and our needs while travelling have evolved drastically,” said Brad Nieland, President and CEO, Berkley Accident and Health. “Whether going to a conference, developing new international business opportunities, or simply attending internal meetings, travellers of all types share concerns when it comes to medical emergencies and personal safety. Healix is playing a key role in delivering the personal care and hands-on support that travellers need while away from home.”
Charlie Butcher, CEO, Healix, added: “Travelling in 2023 brings plenty of risks, from the continued risk of coronavirus to the impacts of climate change on weather, to regional geopolitical challenges. Through the Healix services, Berkley Accident and Health clients can provide the tools necessary to reassure and support workers venturing out for business.”
Healix also recently entered into a five-year partnership with New Zealand’s Emergency Alliance.
