| Good health for expatriates worldwide ( 23/12/2002 ) | |||||||||
Managing director of Goodhealth Worldwide (Asia-Pacific) Ltd Ralph Tam foresees an emerging market opportunity following China's entry into the World Trade Organisation and the consequent opening of various sectors to increased foreign participation. "The increasing numbers of foreigners heading out to work in the mainland are likely to join Goodhealth's medical insurance plan in Hong Kong before they leave," Mr Tam said. He added that expatriates know little about conditions in the mainland and are not confident about the medical facilities and protection there. Goodhealth sees its Hong Kong regional office playing a significant role in its global operation, and the company plans to leverage Hong Kong's regional financial hub role to develop its business among expatriates. The company also sees Hong Kong as a stepping stone for seeking a business partner to jointly explore the mainland's medical insurance market. Hong Kong is the hub of Goodhealth Worldwide (Asia-Pacific) Ltd regional operations. The medical insurance specialist provides expatriates of all nationalities with first class medical expenses protection, especially for senior executives who typically live and work outside their own countries. Goodhealth's strength in its niche market has been successfully developed to enable the company to grow into a leading international healthcare brand, Mr Tam explained. "To add to our appeal to expatriate clients in the region, our Hong Kong-based regional office has set up a network of local claims units to ensure that claims are settled quickly and efficiently, no matter in which country the insured resides." The company has a strong presence in China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore and Thailand and a widening network in the Philippines. Its flagship product, the International Healthcare Plan, has been specifically designed for expatriates and top executives who require cover for high-benefit medical expenses that can be availed wherever they or their families are based worldwide.
