Assist America sets up Assist America Middle East in Beirut

Assist America has set up Assist America Middle East and North Africa (AAME), which will be headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon.  AAME will serve as the exclusive marketing arm for Assist America in the Middle East and North Africa.  The company's focus is to expand Assist America's global emergency services in the region through partnerships with insurers and group benefit plans. 

Assist America's family of companies already serve as the area's premier provider of travel assistance, having established successful relationships with prestigious insurers in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Lebanon and Turkey.

Assist America Middle East will be operated by its Chairman and General Manager, Munzer H. Wehbe, who has been a recognisable presence in insurance in the Middle East for more than 50 years.

Assist America supports members with an array of resources, including emergency medical evacuation, medical repatriation, hospital admission guarantee, doctor referrals, care of dependent children and much more, when they travel.  The company said it prides itself on the advantages of its service offering over other assistance providers. These include having no restrictions for pre-existing conditions, sports or geographic risk, and for providing services without financial caps, usage limits or charge-backs.

Founded in 1990, Assist America, Inc. is the world's largest provider of global emergency assistance in partnership with employee benefit plans.
