Cigna Corporation’s global expatriate business segment, Cigna Global Health Benefits, has expanded its partnership with African-based Hollard Insurance Group, launching a new product to meet the need for a fully compliant health insurance option in sub-Saharan Africa.
The product will cater to the legal requirements of globally mobile staff as well as regional expats and key local nationals from corporations with operations in the region. The partnership also utilises Cigna’s ISO-certified procedures and is able to cater to demand across the region with a single health insurance product.
Mr Brooks Mparutsa, CEO of Hollard International, said: “Each African market has its own unique legislative demands, its own history and its own expectations. This is why it’s important to have local knowledge – and it is part of the reason why our recognised presence in Africa offers tremendous added value. We believe that adding this understanding and our unique, market-related partnership approach to Cigna’s extensive global experience in health care insurance and medical claims administration creates an exciting proposition for entities throughout sub-Saharan Africa.”
