Green Delta launches health insurance with Malaysia
Green Delta Insurance Company has launched an insurance scheme, GD Health, to offer medical and health services in Malaysia.
The country's non-life insurance company joined hands with Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), an agency of the Malaysian health ministry, to provide services to GD Health policyholders.
Policyholders can get healthcare and medical services at affordable costs in Malaysian hospitals that are linked with MHTC, officials said.
“We always pioneer in innovative insurance products for the country's people and GD Health is a continuation of that,” Farzana Chowdhury, managing director of Green Delta Insurance, said, while addressing the product's launching ceremony in Dhaka on Sunday.
Speaking at the function, Mohammed Nasim, health and family welfare minister, urged private sector entrepreneurs to come forward with investments and new products to ensure healthcare for people. “It is not possible for the government alone to ensure health services for all. So, you have to come forward.”
Dolly Lim, senior manager and in-charge of MHTC, said healthcare is an emerging sector in Malaysia, after tourism and education.
“Malaysian healthcare is ranked third by 'international living report-2014' among the best medical travel destinations in the world,” she said.
MA Mannan, state minister of finance, Nasir A Choudhury, president of Bangladesh-Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Norlin Binti Othman, Malaysian high commissioner in Dhaka, and M Shefaque Ahmed, chairman of Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority, also spoke.
