Our medical helpline is staffed by doctors and nurses and can be made available to policyholders anywhere in the world and at any time.

Policyholders can use the medical helpline as part of their benefit package to access useful medical information and advice on matters such as vaccinations, international pharmaceutical equivalents or, if they've sustained an injury or illnesses, they can be given advice and directed to local healthcare facilities.

This service has a very high perceived value by policyholders and could therefore be a tender winning proposition for clients with an older target audience, new parent groups, expatriate groups, or client groups who are simply known for providing customers with high quality products and services.
