Alma Health, a fully-verticalized digital healthcare provider created to transform the lives of individuals living with chronic conditions, has signed its first insurance agreement in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with Arabian Shield, a prominent Cooperative Insurance Company which is regulated by the Saudi Central Bank and the Council for Cooperative Health Insurance.
As part of this partnership, Arabian Shield’s insured members will now have access to a premium end-to-end digital healthcare experience, powered by Alma Health. Alma Health offers virtual doctor consultations directly via its mobile application with one of the company’s licensed, in-house physicians. The company also offers convenient lab tests, which can be done in the comfort of one’s home. From there, patients can obtain prescriptions on a renewal basis and are provided with delivery of their prescription medication at no added cost. Patients can also benefit from a second opinion on their chronic condition as well as a customized management plan to improve clinical outcomes.

This collaboration will not only enhance access to quality care but will also empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being.
