BHSI also provides additional coverage in other key areas including Emergency Medical Evacuation and Supplementary Repatriation Expenses to suit the customer needs.

BHSI Middle East Third-Party Lines head Neeraj Yadvendu said: “We are pleased to bring this mandatory coverage to contractors and companies operating throughout the Middle East and around the globe.

“Our coverage is supported by BHSI’s experienced Dubai-based DBA specialists who have well-established relationships with key vendors in volatile regions, ensuring exceptional services to customers when and where coverage is most needed.”

According to the US federal law, DBA insurance is required for US government contractors, private employers and contractors working outside the country on American military bases or under a contract with the US government for public works or for national defence.
