“This next step in our relationship with Munich Re will help protect workforces and, in turn, organisational resilience. International SOS is the market leader when it comes to protecting employees and this marks another step forward in our journey.”
According to International SOS, the availability and access to all these services will help the insurance holder to handle the next crisis in a better manner.
The company said that its health advisory services will deliver scientific evidence-based “objective and neutral” advice to policyholders.
Munich Re board of management member Mari-Lizette Malherbe said: “The collaboration brings together the essential components of pandemic resilience, financial protection and access to health expertise to minimise a pandemic’s impact and protect workforces.
“Climate change and population shifts are making another pandemic more likely, therefore there is a need to create more resilient organisations. This new integrated pandemic risk management solution equips the insured to confidently navigate the next pandemic crisis.”
