Update on the situation in China

18 janvier 2023 · Service

Since the Chinese government changed its COVID strategy in December, the number of cases within the country has increased significantly. As a result, we experience a growing concern and questions about medical care in China. Our service centre in Beijing is closely monitoring the situation on the ground and in the various parts of the country and is always available to provide advice and support to our policyholders.

Our colleagues are aware about occupancy rates of local hospitals. We can offer our insured members support in selecting adequate treatment providers – whether it is COVID, an emergency or a planned procedure.

Before the Chinese state changed its COVID policy in December, only public hospitals were allowed to treat COVID patients. Now, our local service centre is able to refer insured people to private facilities within our medical network.

Medication which was scarce in December due to a run on pharmacies by the public, has been reported to be refilled and sufficient. Our service centre is monitoring the capacities and capabilities of pharmacies within our medical networks and assists with the procurement of medication, if necessary.

Insureds in China continue to benefit from the full range of services provided by our service centres. In addition to claims handling, they offer…
  • Advice on the regional COVID-19 infection situation, as well as current laws and regulations.
  • Assistance in finding a doctor or hospital and in making appointments.
  • They speak the local language and assist in communicating with medical service providers.
  • Stay side by side with the insured person throughout the medical treatment.
  • Arrange direct payment for medical treatment within the medical networks.
  • And organise evacuation in the event of an emergency.

Why Corona is becoming a booster for more equality - Is Corona putting the brakes on equality in the workforce? Corona would set back gender equality, by 30 years. Many women complained at the start of the pandemic. The new division of labor suddenly became the old one: Women stand at the hearth and supervise homework, men do video conferencing and tinker with their careers. For women, home office means "lots of home and little office."

What is the price tag on the world?

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the world's most powerful climate change movement, an alliance of more than 370 major financial services firms representing $41 trillion in green investment assets. This is nothing however, compared to the wealth that an intact environment represents. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates the value of services provided by nature in the form of functioning ecosystems at about $90 trillion. That is roughly the entire current global economic output. A new study by the German Nature Conservation Union and the Boston Consulting Group estimates that the monetary value of biodiversity is twice as high. This does not even include values such as recreation, well-being and enjoyment.
