Northern, Eastern and Central Europe
Munich Health has identified significant growth potential in Eastern Europe – and we have plans to fully realise the opportunities that arise.
Our reinsurance activities
With more than 20 years of experience in the regions, Munich Health is in an excellent position to provide its partners in Northern, Eastern and Central Europe with targeted reinsurance solutions tailored to the markets and client needs. These range from classic proportional and non-proportional reinsurance and underwriting services to product development, managed care and administration services. In addition, we advise insurance companies on the challenges posed by Solvency II and support them in the financing of new business projects.
