Our Stories

  • The acid test of an international private medical insurance plan is how it responds in an emergency. We work hard to deliver high standards of customer service and want to be sure that our members would receive the same standards of commitment, responsiveness and personalised service when they need immediate medical assistance. Partnering with First Assistance has enabled us to be fully in control of the service we deliver to our members.
