Industry — Healthcare
Protecting people, facilities, professional responsibility and continuity of care.
Healthcare providers carry risk across medical malpractice, cyber incidents, patient data, property, equipment, employees, liability and continuity of care.
Industry Overview
Clinics, hospitals and healthcare groups in the UAE operate under close regulatory scrutiny while managing sensitive patient data, high-value equipment and a duty of care that extends well beyond the physical premises.
Key Risk Landscape
- Allegations of medical malpractice or clinical negligence.
- Cyber incidents involving patient records and systems.
- Damage to diagnostic and treatment equipment.
- Business interruption following a facility incident.
- Employee-related claims across a large clinical and support workforce.
Insurance Priorities
Professional liability cover needs to reflect the actual scope of clinical practice, while cyber and property cover should reflect the value of equipment and the sensitivity of the data held.
Common Gaps We See
- Malpractice cover limits not reviewed against current scope of practice.
- Cyber cover excluding regulatory notification and patient-data breach costs.
- Equipment breakdown cover not extended to newly acquired diagnostic machinery.
