Dubai : Pakistan s largest life insurance company State Life Corporation is planning to launch health insurance scheme for residents in the UAE and elsewhere in the Gulf region.
We are finalizing plan to roll out a new health insurance scheme to cover medical needs of hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis and other expats in the UAE and in other Gulf region countries following high demand from expatriate community, Shahid Aziz Siddiqi Chairman of State Life Insurance Corporation, said at annual award giving function in Dubai.
Since, he added, medical insurance has become compulsory in Abu Dhabi for all employees and plans are underway to make it mandatory for all companies to cover medical expenses for employees, the State Life considers it timely to launch affordable health insurance policy especially for low income group of people.
