As the first Pan-African and fully locally admitted group health solution, Hollard Cigna Health combines Hollard’s strong regional brand, local knowledge and robust risk management capabilities with Cigna’s qualitative African network of doctors and hospitals, state-of-the-art global fraud detection, clinical capabilities and comprehensive digital services.
