Training on new healthcare policy

A GROUP of 12, including three women, underwent a three-day training workshop on a new healthcare insurance product aimed at protecting lives.
The training, run by Agri Assurance Ltd (AAL), prepared the participants from around Lae to carry out awareness in their communities.
The healthcare policy was introduced as a core product for businesses for low income earners.
AAL executive director Mark Baiai said insurance was a vital component of that helped protect the people and saved lives during emergencies.
He said the objective of introducing the policy was to save the lives of people who could not afford clinical fees.
Baiai said AAL was a micro insurance company that provided insurance cover with low premiums and provided a good range of benefits for clients.
“It’s a new approach to health insurance programme in the country where there’s no other programme like what we did by providing 100 per cent on health policy.”
