SATIB partners with InterGlobal to provide Aloe Healthcare Insurance plans in Africa

SATIB is proud to announce our partnership with InterGlobal to re-design the Aloe Healthcare Insurance plans to better meet the particular needs of corporate groups operating in the tourism industry in Africa. The Aloe Healthcare Insurance plans are marketed by SATIB, and they are administered and underwritten by InterGlobal.

The Aloe Standard and Comprehensive plans are designed to cater for the specialist needs of businesses operating in the tourism and hospitality industry in Africa who typically employ safari and adventure guides, lodge hospitality staff, maintenance teams and other employees who often work in remote wilderness areas and regularly come face to face with potentially dangerous game, including Africa’s ‘Big Five’.
Both Aloe plans are available for use throughout the African continent, allowing members whatever their nationality to move between African countries while maintaining full insurance cover. Employees can receive treatment at their choice of preferred hospitals or clinics, including evacuation to an appropriate medical facility for both critical and non-emergency treatment where adequate treatment is not available locally.
Aloe Standard provides cover for in-patient and daycare treatment as well as evacuation and repatriation benefits. Members of Aloe Comprehensive also benefit from cover for out-patient treatment, the maintenance of chronic medical conditions and extra cover for cancer care.
All members have access to the SATIB24 Crisis Call Centre, SATIB’s specialist unit which provides 24/7 incident management services in the event of a medical or personal safety emergency, even in remote, hard to reach areas.

We have gone to great lengths to ensure thorough coverage for our clients without exclusions or premium loadings for the typical activities and locations associated with tourism in Africa. Adventure activities such as cage diving, hot air ballooning, white water rafting and driving safaris are rarely covered by ‘off-the-shelf’ private medical plans. Coupled with the fact that our clients can benefit from cover throughout the African continent, they can be confident that the Aloe plans have been designed very much with them in mind.

. SATIB’s intimate understanding of the industry together with InterGlobal’s expertise in delivering international health insurance solutions on the continent has allowed us to provide exceptional yet affordable cover tailored for businesses operating in the African safari and tourist trade.
In addition to the ALOE products SATIB can offer InterGlobal’s Ultracare products which are more relevant to commercial businesses outside of tourism.
