HISTORICAL OVERVIEW

Our journey towards becoming the leading health insurer in Saudi Arabia began in 1997, as a joint venture between The British United Provident Association Limited, a UK-based company, and the Nazer Group from Saudi Arabia. In 2008 we listed on the Saudi stock exchange through offering 40 percent of our shares to the public in what is the most successful IPO ever floated for an insurance company in Saudi Arabia, one that was oversubscribed by more than 900 percent.

Today we have an authorized and paid up capital of SAR 1,200 million, comprising 120 million issued shares.

As the first specialized health insurance company in the Kingdom, we are today the Kingdom’s largest health insurer, proactively reaching into the heart of the community, working towards helping millions live healthier and happier lives.
