Chinese insurer Alltrust recently announced a partnership with Bupa International, expatriate health insurer. The partnership is among the first to combine local knowledge in China with global healthcare expertise. From 27 January 2011, Alltrust will offer a range of health insurance products for expatriates working in China and Chinese citizens who will be offered international medical insurance plans administered by Bupa International.
Henry Du, Chairman, Alltrust said, “Our partnership concludes a rigorous search for the right partner—Bupa operates in 190 countries around the world, and has a wealth of experience…and established relations with thousands of doctors and medical facilities all over the world.”
Alistair How, Managing Director, Bupa International said, ““Our multilingual team will be there for Alltrust’s customers every step of the way, from the moment they call to let us know they need treatment, to helping them find the closest suitable hospital—we will even make appointments on their behalf—so they can focus on getting better.”
Clients will also gain access to Bupa International’s multi-lingual doctors and advisers, who offer 24-hour medical advice and arrange hundreds of emergency evacuations and repatriations each year.
