State-controlled PureHealth, the largest healthcare provider in the UAE, has strategically expanded its insurance arm, Daman, transforming the latter from a health-focused entity into a comprehensive multi-line insurer with entry into the high-growth Property and Casualty (P&C) segment.
As part of this evolution, Daman will adopt a new legal name: The National Insurance Company – Daman, reflecting its broadened scope and strengthened position within the UAE’s dynamic insurance landscape, according to a statement released by the Abu Dhabi Media Office (ADMO).
The company will introduce new P&C products in phases while ensuring uninterrupted service for existing members.
The chairman of The National Insurance Company – Daman, Mr Khaled Binshaiban Almheiri, said, “For nearly two decades, Daman has set the benchmark for health insurance in the UAE. This evolution marks a pivotal chapter – expanding our focus to offer a broader range of insurance solutions while maintaining the same rigour, trust and customer-first mindset our members know and value. By protecting individuals, businesses and assets, we are proud to play a central role in supporting the UAE’s vision for sustainable well-being and long-term economic resilience.”
Daman currently provides health coverage to more than 3m members across a network of more than 3,000 healthcare providers in the UAE.
PureHealth operates an ecosystem that covers hospitals, clinics, diagnostics, insurance, pharmacies, HealthTech, procurement and more. ADQ, a sovereign wealth fund, entered into an agreement to consolidate within Pure Health several companies including Abu Dhabi Health Services Company and The National Health Insurance Company (Daman).
