Astra CMG debuts health plan

JAKARTA (JP): PT Astra CMG Life insurance company launched on
Monday the Danatra Citra Plus, a health insurance scheme that
offers protection against various critical illnesses and also
serves as an old-age saving plan.

Company director Suparno Djasmin said the scheme, offered to
people aged between 16 and 50 years old, would provide insurance
for clients until they reached 60 years, an age when most people
are worried about their health and are likely to suffer from
critical illnesses.

"Our market research indicates a growing need for an insurance
scheme that covers critical illnesses such as heart attack,
cancers, transplantation of vital organs, the liver, burns,
stroke and paralysis," the company's president Steve Heald said.

PT Astra CMG Life reported a 50 percent increase in premium
income in the first 10 months of the year and an 80 percent rise
in new policy holders.

Heald said the scheme was expected to contribute 30 percent of
the company's total sales growth in the next three years.

As the country recovers from the economic crisis, Astra CMG is
targeting a 10 percent increase in policy holders over the next
five years. (06)
