Allianz Insurance Company in Egypt signed a strategic partnership agreement in the healthcare sector with “Esaal” (www.Esaal.ME), a digital platform offering mental health, comprehensive healthcare and nutrition services, in addition to medical consultations in the Middle East and North Africa.
The agreement aims to offer high-quality healthcare services digitally for the clients of Allianz, including individuals, SMEs or corporates, once granted the necessary approval from the relevant authorities.
Such a step enables Allianz to complement what it has already commenced as to the digital transformation of healthcare services, starting by offering clients medical consultations and psychotherapy to prescribing medications.
“At Allianz, we have initiated the path toward digital transformation, and we are happy with what we have accomplished so far in this arena.” stated Allianz Egypt Chairman and CEO Mr. Ayman Hegazy.
“We are proud of the first of its kind partnership in Egypt’s insurance sector with ‘Esaal’ being one of the leading start-up platforms that offers healthcare, nutrition, and mental health consultations.”
