HTH Worldwide, a global health and safety services company, today announced it has signed an agreement with Green Crescent Insurance Company of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to give Green Crescent's members access to HTH's contracted doctors and hospitals in 180 countries. Under terms of the agreement, HTH will also provide to Green Crescent members its suite of proprietary online tools to search for doctors, hospitals and pharmacies, as well as to translate brand names of medications and key medical terms and phrases.
Green Crescent is one of only two publicly-held health insurance companies in the UAE licensed to offer their own policies to employers providing health benefits to employees and their families. The UAE and other Gulf Cooperation Council countries have begun requiring such coverage not only for their own citizens but also for expatriate workers and their households. The UAE and other GCC countries are experiencing a large influx of workers from many corners of the world because of the region's rapid economic development. These workers are part of the growing globally-mobile workforce that needs portable health insurance benefits and access to quality health services at home and abroad.
"Green Crescent is pleased to be able to add HTH Worldwide's access to high quality doctors and hospitals outside of the Middle East as well as the latest internet tools to manage their health," said Carl J. Sardegna, Chief Executive Officer of Green Crescent. "We believe that HTH's resources will help make Green Crescent the leading health insurance company in the UAE and other GCC countries and enable us to meet employers' acute need to attract and retain top notch employees through innovative health policies."
"HTH Worldwide welcomes the opportunity to serve Green Crescent and its members," said Angelo Masciantonio, President and Chief Executive Office of HTH Worldwide. "The Gulf region is generating truly impressive growth and demonstrating a commitment to the stewardship of its workers -- both citizens and expatriates. We are proud to be recognized by Green Crescent for our leadership and best practices when serving the globally mobile workforce."
