Dubai, UAE – October 8th 2017 – The Mediterranean and Gulf Insurance and Reinsurance Company – MEDGULF UAE held its official Launch Event 2017 at the world’s tallest hotel, the JW Marriott Marquis in Business Bay on Sunday. The launch was held not only to celebrate MEDGULF’s recent introduction into the Health Insurance Market in the UAE with offices now in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but also to celebrate the successes the company has had over the past year. It was an event to say “Thank You for your Support” and attendees included regional representatives from MEDGULF Group, CEO’s and top Management from across the UAE and also included MEDGULF’s esteemed partners travelling from as far as the USA for the event. It was a jam packed evening with a networking cocktail reception, entertainment, gala dinner, awards ceremony, give aways and after event party.

Mr. Shadi Al Mahameed, MEDGULF UAE’s General Manager commented “Tonight it’s been amazing to see the pioneers of the Insurance Industry all under one roof”. In key note speeches to attendees Mr. Al Mahameed addressed that in just 9 months MEDGULF UAE has exceeded over 100 million AED in Gross Written Premium and within the same period of time they now have over 24,000 insured members. He stated the next target is to rapidly aim for 50,000 insured members coming into the new year which means in 2018 MEDGULF UAE can qualify to become a P.I.
