Daman triples its client base in less than 2 years to 1.2 million people
Abu Dhabi, Jan 12, 2009 (WAM) - The National Health Insurance Company, Daman, the leading health insurance company in the region, announced that its client base tripled to reach 1.6 million in less than 2 years, covering around 30% of the UAE population.
Since Daman accomplished the strategic "one million members" objective in May 2008, Daman has increased its customer-base by 50% in less than six months. In addition, Daman was able to renew a significant number of contracts with public and private companies in the last few months, despite giving up its exclusive rights to insure the public sector and opening the market for competition last June.
In addition to its five main policies, Daman has included the new Visitor Plan to provide health insurance for visa applicants following the Ministerial Decision No. 322/2008. More than 40,000 Visitor Plans, specifically designed to provide emergency In-patient health insurance have been issued since the Plan's rollout in August.
Also, through its "Thiqa" programme, Daman was also assigned as a Third Party Administrator in the Health Insurance Scheme for Nationals, where it now covers around 500,000 UAE Nationals".
