MD Medical Group and VTB launch a new insurance product
11 July 2018, Moscow - MD Medical Group Investments Plc ("MD Medical Group", "MDMG" or the "Company" - LSE: MDMG), a leading Russian private healthcare provider, announces that it has launched an insurance product in cooperation with VTB Insurance, part of VTB Group.
"Protect Your Future" is a healthcare insurance programme, designed for Russian citizens.
Insurance coverage is up to RUB 450,000 with a one-off insurance premium of RUB 15,000. The product will be offered at local branches of the VTB bank, which, given the access it provides to the bank's clients, will expand the Company's patient base and increase the number of patient visits.
Medical services available under the insurance programme will be offered at MDMG hospitals and clinics in a number of Russian regions. In addition, patients will gain access via telemedicine to online consultations with the doctor who carried out their medical examination to discuss results and to receive further treatment if required. Technological and service support is provided via the telemedicine platform Doctis.
Mark Kurtser, CEO of MD Medical Group, said:
"We believe that this project is a step towards improving the accessibility of our high-tech services in regions across Russia. With its help more patients will be able to receive comprehensive medical examinations at our facilities.
"We are pleased to develop and expand our relationship with our strategic partner VTB, with whom over many years we have implemented a number of important projects for Russia. Our new joint initiative will help many people to receive high-quality medical care on a regular basis."
