The company’s premiums fell, payments doubled, but we managed to retain the main thing – most of our clients and reputation of a reliability insurance partner. Today, thanks to this approach, the company has become a participant of promising projects on development of voluntary medical insurance in Ukraine, which is enough for optimism in 2016,” the company said, citing Director General Anton Kiyashko.
