Principal's health policy

JAKARTA (JP): Insurance company Principal Indonesia launched on Thursday its new health policy, the Principal Sehat Sejahtera (PSS).

The company's managing director, F. Doug Rasmussen, said in a statement the new product was a supplement to Principal's pension fund and insurance products.

"The product was launched to fulfill the increasing needs of health insurance programs," he said.

He said people have become more aware about the importance of having health insurance since health care and medical costs had increased recently.

PSS offers various benefits, including dental benefits, maternity benefits and hospital costs in Singapore. (cst)
