DOHA: Owing to an agreement signed in Moscow, QLM, the leading medical insurance and life insurance Company, entirely owned by Qatar Insurance Company (QIC), has announced that it has expanded its network of medical service providers in Russia.
This step is a confirmation of the Company’s keenness to provide the best methods for its customers to benefit from the services it provides. This large expansion in Russia coincides with the World Cup, which is to be held in Russia in mid-June this year.
The network includes about 700 service providers within the Russian state for QLM customers to enjoy directly services in this network, which includes the largest hospitals.
QLM ensures continuous medical insurance protection to its members who will represent prominent institutions of Qatar and who will be present at different venues of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The QLM medical network will cover all the cities where the World Cup matches will be held, such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, etc.
In a visit to Russia by senior executives of QLM, major hospitals and medical centers were interviewed and reviewed within the network to ascertain the quality of the services they would provide to the company’s customers. Most of QLM network providers in Russia are accredited by FIFA.
“World Cup 2022 in Qatar is a historic event and inspired by the passion of the State of Qatar towards sports,” said Salem Khalaf Al Mannai, Deputy Group President & CEO of Qatar Insurance Group, commenting on this important step.
“This prompted us to ensure the provision of a network of medical services providers of the highest quality and efficiency and geographical spread, ensuring the provision of health care services across the globe.”
“The Company’s strategy for the future,” he appended, “is to reach its objectives of global expansion and to enter into new markets. From this point of view, the Company is entering into direct contracts with service providers worldwide as one of the steps to be announced soon.”
“The Qatari market,” he pointed out, “has become a global market in which all segments from around the world are present and this is a motivation to continue to develop and provide global services that suit these segments and their aspirations.
“QLM is pursuing the QIC’s approach in the planned growth of the Group in world markets. The Group’s presence and spread globally paves the way for QLM to spread through the companies and QIC’s branches.”
