A popular insurance and a financial company have joined hands to announce a one-of-its-kind partnership in the region that aims to offer UAE residents easy access to quality healthcare.

While medical inflation has been rising at a rate of 18 per cent to 20 per cent annually, not many individuals are able to meet quality healthcare needs, and to address this issue, Policybazaar.ae and GuideMeDoc have got together to offer a new service.
