Covid-19: UAE residents to shell out more on health insurance
Health insurance premiums in the UAE have gone up since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic last year, as residents become more cautious about their health.
The industry executives forecast that premiums are expected to go up further this year as well as over the next couple of years.
Anas Mistareehi, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Al Wathba National Insurance, said many health and life insurance companies increased premiums on their insurance plans last year by up to 20 per cent.
