Key Highlights

The personal accident and health segment accounted for 32.7% of the industry’s direct written premium in 2015.

Due to the introduction of the Insurance Prudential Supervision Act (IPSA) in 2010, all insurers must maintain compliance with solvency standards and appropriate risk management policies.

Unsustainable levels of public spending on healthcare and a rise in healthcare costs initiated reforms in the health segment, prompting the government to contemplate the role of private insurance.

On November 25, 2016, the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) increased the contribution of treatment providers by 2.2%.

The segment’s growth potential led competitors to develop their distribution channels, adopt cost control measures and collaborate with other businesses to expand their product portfolios and market reach.
