JazzCash And MicroEnsure Pakistan Launch Sehat Sahulat
Islamabad – 20 December, 2016: Recently, JazzCash entered in to a
strategic alliance with MicroEnsure Pakistan, a leading provider of mass market
insurance worldwide, whereby innovative small ticket insurance products and
solutions were to be offered JazzCash customers.
Understanding
the scarcity of financial issues related to healthcare matters and scarcity of
health insurance products for the common person in Pakistan, the two
organizations worked together and developed an innovative solution in
partnership with a leading local insurance company.
The
solution called JazzCash Sehat Sahulat provides significant financial
protection to clients against a number of health related perils upon payment of
a nominal fee.
Speaking
on the occasion of the product launch, Aniqa Afzal Sandhu, Head of Digital
& Mobile Financial Services – Mobilink, stated, “We have always worked towards offering
innovative solutions to the needs of our users. Through JazzCash Sehat Sahulat,
we are looking to provide ease to the masses who cannot afford primary
healthcare, especially in times of urgent need. We are excited to launch this
health insurance in collaboration with MicroEnsure and hope it will be a major
step towards reaching our financial inclusion objectives.”
Commenting
on the occasion, Rehan Butt, Country Manager Pakistan & Head of Business Development
Asia - MicroEnsure added, “We appreciate the focus and enthusiasm of Mobilink and JazzCash in
introducing this product which is a great step in solving one of the most
critical financial problems of tens of millions of Pakistanis. People from
