Officials after signing the partnership

International SOS and Munich Re introduce new policy solution

DUBAI, October 30, 2023

International SOS, the world's leading health and security risk services company, has signed a partnership with Munich Re to launch an integrated epidemic and pandemic risk management policy solution. It will enhance and fortify resilience and future preparedness of organisations globally, including in the Middle East.
 
The partnership aims to leverage International SOS's impressive proficiency in providing high-quality medical services alongside Munich Re's extensive knowledge in risk management and insurance to create this innovative policy solution. 
 
Under this partnership, International SOS will offer health advisory services to Munich Re’s pandemic policyholders. The pandemic insurance and risk financing solution will further provide access to International SOS’ pandemic portal, an online repository of the latest health advice relating to pandemics, and real-time one-on-one access to International SOS’ health consultants.
 
Best shape possible
The combined proposition puts the insured in the best shape possible to navigate the next crisis. By proactively addressing risk, and future-proofing an organisation’s pandemic response, organisations can contribute to deriving an enhanced Duty of Care and ESG agenda, which will contribute to retaining and safeguarding talent, ultimately protecting business, shareholder value and reputation.
 
Franck Baron, Group Deputy Director, Risk Management, International SOS, commented: “The solution enhances Munich Re’s pandemic policy, supports captives on a topic for which extensive support is often sought. This next step in our relationship with Munich Re will help protect workforces and, in turn, organisational resilience. International SOS is the market leader when it comes to protecting employees and this marks another step forward in our journey.”
 
Mari-Lizette Malherbe, member of the Munich Re board of management, said: “The collaboration brings together the essential components of pandemic resilience, financial protection, and access to health expertise to minimise a pandemic's impact and protect workforces. Climate change and population shifts are making another pandemic more likely, which necessitates the need to create more resilient organisations. This new integrated pandemic risk management solution equips the insured to confidently navigate the next pandemic crisis.”--TradeArabia News Service
