BIMA GHANA ANNOUNCES GHC500,000 SUPPORT FOR ITS CUSTOMERS AND FREE TELEMEDICINE ACCESS TILL END JUNE

BIMA Ghana, the leading provider of mobile delivered insurance and telemedicine services in Ghana, announced today that a GHC500,000 reserve was made available for the 45,000 customers of its B-Health Gold policy underwritten by Allianz Life Ghana. The reserve will support customers to buy preventive items such as face masks and sanitizers to help stop the spread of covid-19. BIMA’s Doctor service will also be available free of charge to all customers who are not yet subscribed to B-Health until the 30th June by dialling a free USSD code (*789*96#).

Damien Gueroult, Country Manager for BIMA Ghana, announced: “As Ghanaians are going through tough times during this pandemic, we felt we had to do our part to ensure our customers have the means of protecting themselves with the appropriate preventive tools. With this monetary support which in normal times can only be paid when prescribed medicine or referred to a laboratory, customers are able to buy a good reusable mask and a bottle of sanitizer.”

“Beyond the financial support, it’s important for us that customers receive advice from a qualified medical practitioner” added Dr. Sunu, Chief Medical Officer of BIMA Ghana. “Face masks and sanitizers are one part of the solution, but people must continue to also practice the full series of preventive measures such as social distancing and hand-washing which together can reduce the risk of infection. Upon calling our service line 0277 000 545, all our customers are briefed by our nurses on these preventive measures before receiving the cash support. This initiative follows the extension of our service to 24/7 and shows how customer service is at the core of our mission”.

BIMA also made its Teledoctor service available for free till end of June to customers dialling the shortcode *789*96#. Telemedicine provides  easy access to qualified doctors over the phone without having to visit a clinic or a hospital. BIMA Doctor can play a big role in relieving some of the pressure on the health system in Ghana by allowing people to receive quality medical advice from their home. Ghanaians can dial *789*96# to enjoy free BIMA Doctor access till end June.
