The nation’s healthcare industry is set to receive a boost with the launch of a new International Health Insurance product by NSIA Insurance to the Nigerian market.

The company, in order to deliver on all that is expected from an international health insurance offering is partnering with Cigna and Hollard.  Cigna is a Fortune 500 company in the USA and one of the world’s leading providers of health benefits enabled through its 41,000 employees serving over 90 million customers all over the world.  Hollard is South Africa’s largest independent insurance company, with an ever-growing African footprint making it known throughout the continent for its innovative approach and customer-centric brand.

NSIA Health Insurance provides a robust health plan to local companies who want to provide their staff with access to quality healthcare in Nigeria and beyond, as well as multinationals operating in Nigeria, who desire to harmonise their health insurance plan across Africa. The staff of these companies once enrolled, are able to access the finest quality health care available all over Africa and the rest of the world, whenever they need such services.

Ebelechukwu Nwachukwu, managing director of NSIA Insurance, said NSIA Health Insurance is one of a kind.  Companies that purchase the product are rest assured that their staff will easily access the best medical services, wherever they are in the world when the need arises.  This is a promise that is already being fulfilled by our technical partners in Nigeria and other parts of the world where they operate.  Already, a number of leading Multinationals in Nigeria have signed on to NSIA Health Insurance with many other prospects in the pipeline.

NSIA Health Insurance will take into consideration the different health insurance needs of organisations, whether they operate in one African country or many, or whether they are looking to cover key local staff or expatriates or both. The product offers a combination of health plans that provide optimised coverage that can be aligned to a company’s budget.

NSIA Insurance is excited about this addition to its portfolio of products, which affords it the opportunity to meet more of the insurance needs of its increasing customer base.  The company is one of the most progressive composite insurance companies in Nigeria, with its head office located in Lagos, a strong regional presence in Abuja and large network in every strategic state. NSIA offers a wide range of insurance services to meet the changing financial, investment and lifestyle risk needs of corporate, commercial and individual customers, at competitive price and with the best service infrastructure to ensure value to our clients.

NSIA Insurance Limited was incorporated originally as African Development Insurance Company in April 18, 1989, as a Limited liability company domiciled in Nigeria and licensed to underwrite all classes and volumes of general and life businesses. It became ADIC Insurance Limited in October, 2006 after Diamond Bank Plc acquired 96% equity stake.

In 2011, NSIA Participations successfully acquired ADIC Insurance Ltd (Now NSIA Insurance Limited). NSIA Participations has presence in 12 countries which include Cameroun, Congo, Gabon, Benin, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Nigeria, France, Togo and Senegal.
