Health System Challenges Prior to Health Insurance
Lack of access
Lack of clinical and financial transparency
Overreliance on public funding
• Lack of meaningful access especially for low-earning individuals
• Lack of choice for UAE Nationals (public sector free only)
• Limited data without ties between financial and clinical performance (“are we getting value for money?”)
• Public funding not based on activity (block budget)• Perceived lack of customer responsiveness in public sector
as a result• Employers not adequately sharing in cost of providing
health care especially for expatriates
Health Care Reform Response
Introduction of Mandatory
Health Insurance
Creation of Pure Regulator
(HAAD) and Modern Payment System
Use of Private Sector/Public
Private Partnerships
Health Financing Reform
Vision• Access to health care for all
• Financing through health insurance• Flexible and efficient financial system

PPP started with MunichRe as an operator of DAMAN providing systems and management
Building trust with the government after successful execution of mandatory health insurance, MunichRe became a shareholder
Now both are jointly expanding locally (broader product range) and regionally (KSA, Qatar, …)
DAMAN – Example for a Successful PPP Model
Daman is one the leading specialized health insurance companies in the region
• Support the reform of the healthcare system• Ensure the health insurance of expats working in the Emirate
of Abu Dhabi
Today: 2.3 million members (409,173 “enhanced”; 1,287,511 “basic”; 689,189 “Thiqa”)
Initial problem / challenge
• Daman fulfills its important role within the reform process of the healthcare system in Abu Dhabi
• Daman is expanding outside the Emirate of Abu Dhabi• Daman has created 1,500 jobs in the Emirate and employs
more than 100 Emirati Nationals
Client value
• Daman is the first specialized health insurer in the UAE, licensed 2006 (no other lines of business)
• Daman is owned 80% by the government of Abu Dhabi and 20% by Munich Re
• Munich Re appointed as strategic partner responsible for the establishment and operation of Daman (Management Agreement)
• MR is the exclusive reinsurer for all enhanced products as an incentive alignment
• Daman is the exclusive provider for the government subsidized basic product (Abu Dhabi government is risk taker / reinsurer)
• Daman is managing the Thiqa program for the Abu Dhabi government
• Utilizes the insurance back-office IT system MedNext from Munich Re
• Employer is responsible for full payment of insurance premium by Abu Dhabi law
• Employee has to pay a small deductible / co-insurance per out patient visit
• Strong growth since inception with four main branches and more than 23 service points across the UAE

MunichRe, AD government shareholder of new regional champion3. Competitive partner selection process: RfP process with participation of major
international players4. Seamless execution: Exceeding plans (both operational as well as financial)5. Robust legal framework and good regulation: Support from law/bylaw and creation
and continuous upgrading of HAAD6. Appropriate risk allocation and controls: Economic incentives for DAMAN to
succeed while mitigation of risk for DAMAN in government contracts (basic/thiqa)7. Technology and skills transfer: Development of local layer of management
independent of MunichRe8. Good governance: Management of potential conflicts of interest between (a)
government-funded and private business; (b) public majority and private shareholder

Carefully Prepare for a PPP
Are you ready to accelerate the implementation of health insurance with imported technical skills in a PPP structure
Can you clearly communicate your intentions to an external partner in a PPP venture
Can you manage the complexity inherent in the creation of an able regulator and are you willing to adequately staff and pay for such a function which is needed as a counterpart in any PPP structure
Do you have the contract management skills to set up and monitor a PPP structure with incentives for both sides to succeed
