Prudential East Africa customers who will, unfortunately, be diagnosed with the deadly coronavirus disease (COVID-19) will have their medical bills paid by the insurance firm.
The insurance firm in a press release also said they will provide a daily allowance at no extra cost to the client. The pay-out is intended to help the victim’s family manage expenses while they are in recovery.
Arjun Mallik, Managing Director, Prudential East Africa noted in times of uncertainty, it is important that an insurer delivers on its promises.
“The COVID-19 cover is applicable to all Prudential clients with a Pru Edusave or Prudential medical card, with in-force policies (up to date premiums),” he said.
“New clients who join within the next 45 days, will also be covered under this scheme. Tests need to be conducted from ‘Ministry of Health’ approved testing centres’’ Arjun added.
Al-hajji Kaddunabi Lubega, CEO, Insurance Regulatory authority, said Prudential’s moe is a true exhibition of the ability of life insurance to help protect Ugandans.
