SLIC to launch health insurance in UAE
Sunday, July 01, 2012
DUBAI: State Life Insurance Corporation (SLIC) is planning to launch health insurance scheme for residents in the UAE and elsewhere in the Gulf region, said Chairman SLIOC, Shahid Aziz Siddiqui.
“We are finalising plan to roll out a new health insurance scheme to cover medical needs of hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis and other expatriates in the UAE and in other the Gulf region countries following high demand from expatriate community,” he said at annual award giving function in Dubai.
Since, 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, SLIC considers it timely to launch affordable health insurance policy especially for low income group of people.
Khalid Mahmoud Shahid, Dubai based Gulf Zonal Chief of SLIC said they were growing at fast pace in the UAE with opening of new offices in Sharjah and Al Ain and would open offices in Bahrain and Qatar this year. He said Sharjah office so far raised $0.6 million premium, which might go up to $1.2 million in first year of operations. “We will soon open more offices in Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah to boost our life insurance business in the UAE.”
SLIC has over 15,000 policyholders in UAE and another 4,000 are expected to be added this year. “We have added about 7,000 policyholders in past three years, but 15,000 figure is not enough considering huge potential in the country.
We evolved an aggressive strategy to double SLIC policyholders in next two years by targeting all communities.
Our Life Fund in the Gulf region recorded very robust growth in past three years as premiums rose to $66.5 million this year compared to $38 million in 2008, he added. SLIC is expected to raise $20 million gross premium in Gulf Zone this year compared to $16 million in 2011. ppi

Huh, there ain't even basic health care services in Pakistan and they're settin up shop in UAE to offer health insurance. Yet another money making scheme for the greedy, spineless morons.
........ when the first drop of a Munafiq's blood drops in the Kaa'bah ........
........ the Black Flags Army shall rise from Khurasan and commence its earth rumbling march toward Damishque. Any force that tries to come in its path, shall be destroyed with ruthless destruction. Awaiting, upon reaching Damishque, the safron and beads of pearls and the Black Turban that shall lead the Salah of Fajr .........
........ the stones and trees of Lud shall cry out to the Black Flags and tell them of the Munafiqs, Yahuds and Kuffar that are hiding behind them, to come and kill them. That day shall be the day of reckoning, the day of justice, the day when no power shall hold and unfair advantage. The battle shall be fought and won by way of faith ........
........ it shall be done, as it is said "Kun Faya Koon
