In conversation with Dr K.P. Hussain, Chairman, FMC Network UAE

How has FMC Network revitalised the healthcare insurance business in the UAE?
FMC has revitalised the healthcare insurance for blue-collar workers in the UAE by offering cost-effective, comprehensive coverage through strategic partnerships with insurance providers. By leveraging AI technologies, we have optimised the insurance claims process, improving accuracy, speed, and efficiency in claims adjudication. AI-driven algorithms are now employed to assess claims more rapidly, detect fraud, and reduce errors, resulting in a more transparent and seamless experience for both healthcare providers and policyholders. With an expanded provider network and a streamlined claims process, FMC is able to offer people access to reliable and accessible healthcare.
What were your standout achievements last year?
Over the past year, our organisation has strategically focused on driving institutional growth, fostering technological innovation, and expanding into new markets to strengthen our healthcare insurance offerings. We have made significant strides in extending our network to better serve the white-collar segment in the UAE, ensuring both the scalability and long-term sustainability of our business. The past 12 months have been marked by key achievements, including receiving the SIBA Business Awards 2024 for Excellence in the Healthcare Industry, recognition at The Icons of the UAE Awards hosted by India Today group, and an esteemed honour at the Thumbay Insurance Meet & Health Annual Awards 2024. These milestones not only affirm our dedication to excellence but also reinforce our leadership within the healthcare insurance sector.
How do you see healthcare insurance evolving in the UAE and how well is FMC Network aligned to this evolution?
The government’s introduction of compulsory medical insurance in the Northern Emirates has proven to be a significant step towards ensuring medical security, a development I foresaw back in 2004. This initiative has played a crucial role in providing widespread access to healthcare, offering greater protection for residents.
As a medical insurance third party administrator (TPA), our company is well-aligned with these changes by ensuring compliance with the latest regulations. We have embraced AI tools to ensure transformation in medical insurance industry. Our commitment to innovation, scalability, and improving service delivery has positioned us as a forward-thinking partner in this dynamic industry. We continue to adapt to market demands, enhancing our ability to serve a diverse and growing population.
