Dubai, UAE: As part of its continued efforts to provide a value-added service to the business community, Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in partnership with NGi (National General Insurance), has launched an exclusive health insurance scheme for its members.
Pulse medical insurance provides a comprehensive health insurance package at a reasonable cost. It is available exclusively for Dubai Chamber members, their dependants and employees and includes 100% in-patient coverage, maternity cover and family income protection up to AED 50,000.
Dubai Chamber launched the product during a press conference at its headquarters on Tuesday.
