Better healthcare. Healthier people. Stronger businesses.

Healthcare that works harder for your people and your business.

Your people are at the heart of your business. Keeping them healthy, supported and productive matters.

But healthcare costs are rising. Employee expectations are changing. And employers across the UAE need to balance regulatory requirements with providing meaningful healthcare benefits.

The right Group Medical Insurance programme does more than provide access to treatment. It helps you attract and retain talent, support employee wellbeing and manage healthcare costs with confidence.

At Howden Employee Benefits, we help organisations design medical insurance programmes that balance quality healthcare, employee needs and commercial value.

Whether you're introducing a new programme or reviewing your existing cover, we'll help you make better decisions for your people and your business.

More than medical insurance. A healthier business.

Because looking after your people is good for business.

Healthcare is one of the most important benefits you can offer your employees. In the UAE, employers must also meet applicable health insurance requirements. But meeting those obligations is only the starting point. A well-designed Group Medical Insurance programme helps you:

  • Attract and retain talent

    Strengthen your employee value proposition with healthcare benefits that matter.

  • Support employee wellbeing

    Give your people access to appropriate healthcare and preventative support.

  • Manage healthcare costs

    Balance meaningful protection with your organisation's budget.

  • Improve employee experience

    Make healthcare benefits easier to understand and access.

  • Support productivity

    Help employees access care and manage health concerns.

  • Meet regulatory requirements

    Align your programme with applicable UAE health insurance obligations.

Healthcare designed around your workforce

The right cover starts with understanding your people.

Every organisation has different healthcare needs.

Your workforce, employee demographics, business priorities and budget all influence the cover that's right for you.

That's why we take the time to understand your organisation before recommending a solution.

We help you explore medical insurance options that provide meaningful healthcare protection while supporting your long-term business objectives.

Depending on the insurer and policy selected, your programme can include:

  • Inpatient healthcare: Access to hospital treatment, surgery and inpatient medical services within the policy's agreed coverage and provider network.
  • Outpatient healthcare: Cover for eligible consultations, diagnostic tests, prescribed medication and outpatient treatment.
  • Maternity benefits: Support for eligible maternity-related healthcare, including consultations, investigations and delivery.
  • Preventative healthcare: Access to eligible health screenings, vaccinations and preventative care services that support early intervention.
  • Mental health support: Access to covered mental healthcare services and wellbeing support, helping employees manage their mental health.
  • Dental and optical benefits: Additional cover for eligible dental treatments, eye examinations and optical services.
  • Telemedicine: Convenient access to medical consultations through digital healthcare services, where available.
  • International medical cover: Additional healthcare protection for employees who travel or work internationally, subject to policy terms and geographical limits.

We'll help you understand the options and create a programme that reflects your workforce and business priorities.
