Daman

Daman, a cornerstone of healthcare in Abu Dhabi, is more than just a name. It’s a story of innovation, accessibility, and commitment to the well-being of millions. Daman, officially known as the National Health Insurance Company – Daman, stands as the largest health insurance provider in Abu Dhabi and the third largest in Dubai. Established in 2006 and headquartered in Abu Dhabi, Daman plays a vital role in the UAE’s healthcare landscape. Imagine standing here, knowing that this company covers over 2.8 million members, a testament to its widespread impact. Daman’s reach extends to both citizens and residents of the UAE, offering various health insurance plans including Thiqa, Abu Dhabi Basic, and Enhanced plans. A fascinating fact is that Daman manages the Thiqa program. This comprehensive healthcare program, offered by the Abu Dhabi government to UAE Nationals, has been under Daman’s expert management since 2008. Daman also manages health funds and administration for several government entities, including the Abu Dhabi Basic Plan. This subsidized standard policy provides affordable healthcare access for low-income expatriates residing in the Emirate. Beyond government initiatives, Daman offers private insurance products across the UAE. These include customizable options, top-up plans, and medical travel insurance. In 2017, Daman took a leap forward by eliminating plastic insurance cards. By linking policies to Emirates ID numbers, they streamlined the process of accessing healthcare services. This “cardless insurance” system simplifies things for the 2.8 million members who rely on Daman for their healthcare needs. Daman is more than just an insurance provider. They are actively involved in health management programs. Their diabetes management program, launched in 2010, provides nutritional guidance, exercise advice, and educational support to over 17,000 enrolled patients. Daman’s story is one of continuous development, striving to provide accessible and comprehensive healthcare solutions for all.
