While these developments are welcome, the resulting increase in health spending is significantly higher than inflation and this trend is set to carry on. This environment brings huge challenges for insurers as well as considerable opportunities. At Hannover Re, we aim to help our partners to get the best out of this market as they strive to support end customers profitably.
Health insurance covers and products come in all shapes and sizes. As a reinsurer, we deal with clients ranging from pure life insurers to multi-line and specialised health insurers. Added to that, there is no “one size fits all” for health cover and health-based policies across the different regions of the world. The systems set up to enable good healthcare vary considerably between countries.
Our special mix of local and international knowledge
What is common to all is the mix of support Hannover Re can offer. Having a strong global network with health experts on every continent, we bring international knowledge to the table, combined with short decision-making processes and local know-how.
