Several hundred clients of the First Microinsurance Agency (FMiA) in Karachi were offered basic outpatient care, along with information on health insurance, in a new programme designed to make poor people aware of microinsurance services and their benefits. The clinics, which are sponsored by FMiA, are run by two qualified doctors. The health clinics programme, which is expected to continue, is meant to help fulfill FMiA’s goal of providing affordable insurance products carefully tailored to the needs of poor families.
“FMiA hopes to keep playing an important role in making health care easily available to its clients and others that need it,” said Al Malik Khoja, the acting CEO of FMiA.
Microinsurance services offered by FMiA include: hospitalisation insurance, savings completion and credit life. Counselors at the clinics offer advice on microinsurance products.
