Rush in Abu Dhabi to get insurance cover ahead of deadline

Abu Dhabi: Expatriates in the emirate of Abu Dhabi have until July 27 to renew their health insurance policies or subscribe to new ones, before the end of the amnesty period announced in May by the Health Authority Abu Dhabi (HAAD).

The National Health Insurance Company, (Daman), said it was utilising all its resources to ensure applications from those who visited the branches were processed before the end of the amnesty period.

Daman's branches in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain would remain open on July 27 from 8am until midnight, a company spokesman said.

Daman, which dominates the UAE's health insurance market, said in June it had extended its working hours and days at major branches to serve the increased number of members wishing to renew their policies.

A company representative said Daman was currently experiencing an increase in customers at its main branches as members tried to meet the July 27 deadline.
