About AXA Health International's Expansion into Tanzania

AXA Health International, which operates under the AXA Global Healthcare brand, has revealed a new partnership in Tanzania with Alliance Insurance Corporation Limited and MIC Global Risks. This development marks a significant step in the company's global expansion efforts and demonstrates its growing presence throughout Africa.

The partnership aims to improve access to premium international healthcare services in Tanzania.

It allows businesses, expatriates and internationally mobile professionals to access AXA Global Healthcare's Global Executive Health Plan (GEHP).

This announcement follows AXA Health International's partnership with Executive Healthcare Solutions (EHS) on 15 October 2025. That partnership created an exclusive distribution framework across Kenya and several other African markets.

In Tanzania, MIC Global Risks has been appointed by EHS as an intermediary. It functions as the exclusive distributor in the market.

Collaborative framework structure

The partnership has been structured to utilise each partner's specific expertise to address local market demands effectively.

AXA Health International manages the international administration of healthcare. It offers access to its worldwide network of providers and utilises its medical expertise.

MIC Global Risks operates as the sole distributor. It oversees client interaction, manages policy issuance and delivers servicing support.

Alliance Insurance Corporation Limited functions as the licensed insurer. This ensures the partnership complies with all applicable local regulatory requirements.

Facilitating cross-border medical care

Tanzania has emerged as an increasingly significant centre for investment, trade and professional mobility. It draws multinational companies, expatriates and internationally mobile professionals.

As the economy becomes more connected with regional and global markets, demand is growing for reliable access to healthcare beyond national borders. This is particularly true for specialised treatment that may not be accessible locally.

GEHP has been developed to address this need. It offers structured access to internationally recognised hospitals and specialist providers, supported by services including medical evacuation and coordinated cross-border care.

GEHP does not function as a domestic health insurance scheme. It comprises part of an international private medical insurance framework intended to facilitate access to specialised treatment beyond national borders when required.

The arrangement operates within Tanzanian insurance regulations.

Karim Idilby, Chief Growth Officer at AXA Global Healthcare, said in a press release: "Tanzania represents an important milestone in AXA Health International's global growth strategy, strengthening our footprint in key high-growth regions and demonstrating our long-term commitment to sustainable growth across Africa.

"As Tanzania's role as a regional hub for investment, trade and professional mobility continues to expand, so too does demand for international healthcare protection.

"Through this collaboration, we are ideally positioned to combine AXA's global healthcare expertise with Alliance's trusted local experience, aligning regulatory compliance with best-in-class service and deepening our partnership with EHS and MIC to reimagine international healthcare provision in Africa. This expansion puts us on a clear path to become the leading international private healthcare provider in the region."
