Bupa Arabia Cooperative Insurance Company has partnered with Namaa Charity Association to provide health insurance services to 299 orphans fostered by Namaa, as part of its social responsibility program. Bupa Arabia has allocated an annual upper limit of SR500,000 ($133,310) for each policyholder covered by a comprehensive insurance program and guided by a specialist support team.
The signing ceremony took place at the charity group’s headquarters. The agreement was signed by Mazen Al-Bsesy, senior manager of human resources at Bupa Arabia, and Sheikh Faisal Al-Hameed, general manager of Namaa Charity Association.
On the sidelines of the event, complete health checkups, covering chronic diseases, dental health and general consultation services, were offered to the orphans.
Bupa Arabia Chief HR Officer Tariq Al-Amoudi said: “Our social responsibility program covers 2,451 orphans to date and includes a wide range of free health insurance services, which is an important part of our strategic plan to support the community, especially those who are in need.”
He added: “Since the launch of this program in 2011, we are determined to continue our services that enhance our presence in the community and reflect our values to support society dutifully and diligently.”
This is the first collaboration between Bupa Arabia and Namaa Charity Association.
Bupa was founded in the UK in 1947 in partnership with 17 provident associations. Bupa went international for the first time in 1971 and in 1997, Bupa Arabia was launched through a joint venture between Bupa and Nazer Group. It is said to be the first medical insurance company in the Kingdom.
