BUPA winner of insurance 'Oscars'

Two of the prizes at the Health Insurance Awards - known as the health insurance industry's 'Oscars' - have gone to BUPA UK Membership and BUPA Wellness.

BUPA, a global health and care organisation with eight million members in 192 offices worldwide, is exclusively represented in Malta by BUPA Agencies Ltd, a member of The Global Group.

Health Insurance magazine's readers, whose readership is principally made up of independent brokers who offer insurance products, voted for the honours. BUPA UK Membership was awarded the title of 'Best Group Medical Insurer', while BUPA Wellness was voted 'The Leading Provider of Occupational Health Services'.

BUPA UK Membership provides medical insurance to 38,000 companies of all sizes and include 80 per cent of Britain's top 100 firms. BUPA has welcomed the awards as an endorsement of its range of services.

BUPA UK Membership commercial director Steve Flanagan said: "No other health provider can match the contribution we make to corporate Britain, and our strategy is to grow this aspect of the business still further. This involves not only getting people back to work more quickly when they become ill, but keeping employees in good health."

BUPA Agencies Ltd is authorised to act as an Insurance Agent and is regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority.
