ATL\u2019s (Am\u00e3na Takaful\u2019s) latest product \u2018Suwasiri\u2019, has made its mark in the insurance industry, as the most affordable health policy available in the market.<\/p>\n

This competitively priced, comprehensive insurance plan was designed as part of ATL\u2019s ongoing efforts to remain \u2018open to all\u2019 and provide all segments of society with a suitable health insurance solution.<\/p>\n

While good health is a blessing, an illness can occur when it is least expected, and the financial burden of dealing with such unforeseen events can be overwhelming.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Suwasiri\u2019 health policy provides an annual insurance cover of Rs. 100,000\/= for as little as Rs. 2,222\/= per year. \u2018Suwasiri\u2019 covers administrative fees, doctor consultations as well as medication costs.<\/p>\n

The policy also covers the cost of hospitalization, surgery, medical treatment, medicine and any medical investigations that are required to determine treatments for ailments. \u00a0The policy truly offers peace of mind and fulfils a long felt need in the Sri Lankan market. Commenting on ATL\u2019s \u2018Suwasiri\u2019, Safwan Hilme – Manager, Business Development, Medical Takaful stated, At ATL we strive to continuously meet the needs of our customers.<\/p>\n

In times of poor health, the \u2018Suwasiri\u2019 health insurance policy will assist policyholders and their loved ones by covering the cost of hospitalization and by providing them with other important benefits. The health of our valued customers is extremely important to us and we firmly believe that with today\u2019s rising medical treatment and hospitalization costs, Sri Lankans from all walks of life, should have access to a health insurance policy.\u201d The consequence of not having a medical insurance policy is that one will have to dip into savings, borrow or use the money set aside for other specific requirements, to meet unforeseen medical expenses. We encourage everyone to consider insurance as the solution and use their savings to achieve more important things in life.\u201d Hilme further stated. The \u2018Suwasiri\u2019 policy addresses the challenges that people face when unexpected medical emergencies occur.<\/p>\n

Amidst the increasing cost of medical care, hospitalization and treatments, the \u2018Suwasiri\u2019 health insurance policy from ATL is a perfect solution for Sri Lankans seeking affordable security and comfort in times of medical uncertainty.\u00a0 \u2018Suwasiri\u2019 provides additional benefits such as a cover forward charges in private hospitals for up to 10 days. Theatre charges, surgeons\u2019 fees, anaesthetists\u2019 fees as well as specialist charges are all included in the cover for Sri Lankan\u2019s who are 18 to 55 years of age. Additionally, \u2018Suwasiri\u2019 covers examinations fees, x-rays, scans and MRIs. A cover for hospitalization is also provided. If hospitalization occurs at a government hospital a cash grant of Rs. 500\/= per day is provided for a maximum of 21 days including expenses for prescribed medicine that has to be purchased.<\/p>\n

Customers can sign up for this policy through the company\u2019s branch network or by calling 011 750 1000 for more information. \u2018Suwasiri\u2019 bagged the bronze award in the \u2018Product of the Year\u2019 category, at the Sri Lanka Islamic Banking and Finance Industry awards 2014, for its innovative and unique features and benefits. ATL has been recognized for its innovation and quality of service for decades and operates on the principle of bringing people together through mutual sharing.<\/p>\n

ATL during its journey of 15 years has been successful in establishing a strong position for the concept of Takaful amidst stiff competition from established conventional players. One of the few ISO certified insurance operators in Sri Lanka, ATL operates across 27 branches and is set to expand its footprint further. ATL continuously reaches out to customers from all segments of society and offers innovative and state-of-the-art insurance products that are convenient, affordable and reliable.<\/p>\n

The company recently transferred its Family Takaful (Life insurance) business to ATL Life Limited which is now operating as a separate business entity. \u00a0As part of its commitment to remain \u2018open to all\u2019, ATL serves all communities and employs a multi-ethnic team across its network.<\/p>\n

The company was also recently upgraded by the Lanka Rating Agency to a rating of BBB\/P3\/Stable and recently achieved ISO 9001:2008 re-certification.<\/p>\n
