Cigna expanding sales to Africa with new expat product

clock • 1 min read

Designed for expat employees of multinationals with offices in Africa, Cigna Global Health Benefits is now offering its new Cigna Africa product.

ADVERTORIAL: Expats in regions of Africa will benefit from Cigna's local experience and facilities, global medical network, 24/7 customer service and ongoing commitment to investments in this region.

Cigna Africa has been designed specifically for multinationals' globally mobile, key local and third-country national (TCN) staff in Africa.

The product has been tailored to the needs and local practices of the region, making the plan affordable and giving multiple options to individual preferences such as area of cover, cover levels and supplementary coverages.

It includes health benefits, dental and vision cover, evacuation and health management services.

"Africa is an emerging economy, with significant growth of almost 1,000 billion US$ over the last decade. This trend makes it an attractive expansion target for us. With our already existing infrastructure and experience in Africa, we are in a good position to give regional expats and key nationals a premium service", says Bart Jordens, General Manager International Organisations and Africa at Cigna.

It employs local communication officers and medical consultants in key hubs such as South Africa and Kenya, and has a claims intake office in Kenya.
