Allianz announced its partnership with the Paris 2024 organisers to assist with the events scheduled for the Olympics. Its medical assistance teams will work closely with public services and the Organising Committee to ensure patient care during the event.
The scale of the Olympics could potentially lead to an increased volume of patients, possibly challenging the stability of the French hospital system. Allianz stated that its medical teams will initially support medical teams in managing assistance requests.
Following the initial assessment, Allianz will take over patient support, including monitoring hospitalisation, covering medical expenses, and arranging transport home or repatriation if necessary.
Francois-Xavier Duchateau, Chief Medical Officer of Allianz, commented: “Allianz Partners is proud to provide medical assistance and repatriation cover for the Olympic family, including athletes, officials, and volunteers.”
“As a company committed to promoting sport and its values, we know the importance of providing the Olympic participants with medical cover to match their sporting ambitions, helping protect their health while providing peace of mind. Our entire team of assistance agents, nurses, and doctors are ready to deliver the best possible assistance to this exceptional group,” he added.
Allianz also recently announced a new partnership with footballer Harry Kane. Through this partnership, Kane will serve as a global brand ambassador for Allianz in the near future. The collaboration will centre on global marketing initiatives aimed at inspiring the next generation.
