More and more people have understood the importance of real support when an unforeseen situation arises, both in terms of the benefits of access to a dedicated medical consultant and the release of the pressure on the personal budget. At the same time, we have seen a growing interest in related services, such as remote medical consultations and second medical opinion, but also in products that provide protection for certain specific diseases, such as cancer," said Tiberiu Maier, CEO of Signal Iduna Insurance Re-insurance.

 

At the end of last year, the company also launched a telemedicine service, which provides access to telephone or video consultations for many medical specialties.
