NIC Group partners with HollardHealth for Exclusive International Health Plan
Corporate
The NIC Group, a major Mauritian public institution specializing in life insurance, general insurance, and financing, has announced a strategic partnership with HollardHealth International, a South African specialist in international health insurance, to launch “HollardHealth”: a premium health insurance solution tailored for multinational corporations, conglomerates, expatriates, and business professionals operating in Mauritius.
This new offering introduces world-class medical protection and digital support aimed at balancing the lifestyle and well-being of professionals and executives, thereby strengthening Mauritius’s appeal as a prime destination for international investment and foreign talent.
Addressing a strategic market need
In response to the continuous growth of international companies establishing themselves in Mauritius, the demand for premium and cross-border health solutions has become a priority.
According to Dr Rishi Sookdawoor, Chief Executive Officer of the NIC Group, this product represents a significant advantage for companies employing overseas human resources:
“We are proud to launch this innovative product in partnership with HollardHealth International. This project reflects our commitment to creating tangible value for businesses and individuals. By enabling companies to meet the needs of their employees and thereby protect and retain their human resources, we contribute to business continuity in an interconnected world.”
Mr Santosh Gujadhur, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the NIC Group, further emphasized: “We are expanding the capabilities of our insurance ecosystem with global expertise and cutting-edge health insurance management platforms, while equipping companies – both local and international – with an innovative solution to protect their key personnel and attract and retain talent in a competitive global market.”
Ministerial support and strategic alignment
The launch was officially endorsed by the Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning, Dr Jyoti Jeetun, who hailed this initiative as a major step in consolidating the Mauritian financial sector.
Dr Jeetun said: “This partnership between NIC Group and HollardHealth strengthens our positioning as a credible international financial centre. As Mauritius increasingly attracts international businesses and professionals, it is essential to offer them health solutions that meet their expectations and are connected to the global network. This is a prime example of innovation serving national ambitions, and this strategic partnership clearly reinforces our ties with the African continent.”
HealthMov – A digital platform for well-being
Complementing the insurance coverage, policyholders will benefit from HealthMov, a digital well-being application developed by HollardHealth International, offering:
* Real-time health and fitness tracking
* Personalized well-being programs and health coaching
* Remote medical consultations and second medical opinions
* Prevention resources tailored to risk profiles
This approach positions the NIC-HollardHealth partnership as a proactive and innovative well-being duo, going far beyond the traditional role of an insurer.
A Launch Focused on Well-being
To mark the launch as a unique event, guests also participated in an inspiring conference on well-being in the workplace, led by Dr Anouchka Sooriamoorthy, a Doctor of Philosophy, leadership trainer, and speaker specializing in critical thinking in the world of work and professional life.
Her presentation highlighted the growing importance of mental and emotional well-being in the sustainable performance of organizations, demonstrating the crucial role of professions offering a protective framework, such as the insurance industry.
The collaboration between NIC Group and HollardHealth International marks a significant advancement in the Mauritian financial landscape. By introducing a premium international health insurance solution coupled with a comprehensive digital well-being platform, they are not only catering to the growing needs of the international business community but also actively contributing to the attractiveness of Mauritius as a global hub for talent and investment. This partnership signifies a proactive approach to supporting the health and well-being of professionals, recognizing its crucial role in sustained economic growth and development.
