MLife, has partnered with Vitality Health international and together, they have announced and launched their ground-breaking insurance solution.
Vitality Health International’s health insurance offering is a unique product with exciting enhancements customised for leading businesses in Zambia to provide to their employees.
Some new enhancements include the Vitality Malaria Benefit and funeral cover benefits, highlighting joint commitment to enhancing the quality of lives in Zambia.
It aimed to positively impact people’s health outcomes while improving and protecting their lives and this is in line with MLife’s support of the government’s initiatives for a healthy and productive Zambia.
The Vitality programme also enabled Vitality Health International to provide an on-site wellness experience for employers.
Vitality Health Checks, conducted by experienced healthcare wellness specialists, are an essential aspect of the Vitality programme because employees get to understand their current health status and lifestyle risks, which was the first step towards changing behaviour and then starting to get rewarded for healthier choices.
Tailored to the unique needs of each market it operated in, Vitality Health International offered a comprehensive range of benefit plans including in-country, Africa Roaming and Worldwide (excluding USA) coverage, structured according to each employer’s area coverage needs and budgets.
While the health insurance offering catered for employers looking for in-country benefit plans to cover staff who stayed permanently in Zambia and didn’t travel for business, it was also particularly attractive to new-generation expatriates (Zambians returning home after studying abroad) and employees who travel and want to be covered both inside and outside the borders of Zambia.
Speaking in Lusaka during the launch, Madison Life Insurance Company Zambia Limited (MLife) managing director Agness Chakonda said M-Life was a specialist Life insurance company which underwrites Health Insurance through Madison Health Management Services, Individual Life insurance policies, Group Life insurance policies, Credit Life insurance policies, Funeral Expenses Insurance policies as well as the provision of Pension Scheme Administration Services and individual Personal Pension plans.
“For more than 30 years, Madison Life Insurance has had an expansive presence in Zambia. As one of Zambia’s leading insurers, we take pride in our innovative services and dedication to our clients. We believe that working in partnership with Vitality Health International, we will enhance the quality of life for our clients and their loved ones,” said Chakonda.
And chief executive officer Emma Knox said the foundation of the Vitality Shared-value model was to reward people for healthier behaviours, which improved their physical and mental well-being, improving productivity and decreasing the employer’s insurance or ‘health risk’.
Knox said through this model, Vitality Health International was contributing towards a healthier society by making businesses and their employees healthier.
Deputy Registrar-Insurance of the Pensions and Insurance Authority of Zambia Dr Brian Manchishi, and other distinguished guests attended the Madison Life health solutions introduction in Lusaka.
