Europ Assistance is now underwriting Africa based international private medical insurance (PMI) plans.
The insurer has agreed to underwrite the Africa Wellness Solutions health insurance plans of Nairobi, Kenya based J W Seagon and Co. It has also agreed to an assistance partnership with the firm.
J W Seagon is an insurance broker providing expatriate and international health insurance to clients both in Africa and globally.
Emmanuel Légeron, Chief Executive Officer of Europ Assistance - IHS Services said the partnership would offer additional business opportunities for both companies in new markets.
He added: "This regional partnership makes perfect sense in our strategy to be a one stop shop solution for international healthcare needs to private and public institutions: from onsite audits through to remote medical solutions, insured products and self-funded solutions, and assistance and evacuation services".
Managing Director David Seagon commented: "I am very pleased to be working with Europ Assistance...our customers will soon benefit from their extensive knowledge and strong customer service.
"We have already seen enhancements to our product benefits, and look forward to further developing our plans in the future, with our customer's needs at the forefront of our minds".
