The statement said, “Cigna is a Fortune 500 company in the United States of America and one of the world’s leading providers of health benefits enabled through its 41,000 employees serving over 90 million customers all over the world.”

Hollard is South Africa’s largest independent insurance company, with an ever-growing African footprint making it known throughout the continent for its innovative approach and customer-centric brand, it added.

The company stated, “NSIA Health Insurance provides a robust health plan to local companies that want to provide their workers with access to quality healthcare in Nigeria and beyond as well as multinationals operating in Nigeria who desire to harmonise their health insurance plan across Africa.

“NSIA Health Insurance will take into consideration the different health insurance needs of organisations, whether they operate in one African country or many, or whether they are looking to cover key local staff or expatriates or both. The product offers a combination of health plans that provides optimised coverage that can be aligned to a company’s budget.”
