VUMI®
Selected as the International Private Medical Insurance of the Year.

The world of international private medical insurance (IPMI) is rapidly evolving. Insureds are on the move – as digital nomads or on the road expanding their horizons. They seek medical care without borders and demand flexible solutions that truly meet their needs. Against this backdrop, the International Investment Awards, one of the sector’s most prestigious awards, named VUMI® as the International Private Medical Insurance (IPMI) of the Year.

This achievement comes at a pivotal moment. Today, users insist upon plans that cover the diverse elements of their lifestyle, agents demand more agile tools, and insurers move towards digitalization to offers a faster, simpler, more personalized experience. According to the Awards Jury, this is where VUMI® makes a difference.

The current IPMI landscape

Four major trends that shape the sector are:

More personalized plans

People no longer want “generic” insurance. They want to tailor coverage to their lifestyle, country of residence and health priorities.

Accelerated digitization

Technological advances are offering up real-time quotes, opportunities for telemedicine are increasing, and people are becoming more comfortable with using self-service platforms. Yet, service is most effective – and most desirable – when backed by an advisor or agent’s “human touch.” 

Increased regulation

International markets demand clear processes, transparency and data protection, driving companies to operate at increasingly higher standards.

Global access to centers of medical excellence

For many users, having access to highly specialized hospitals outside their country makes a huge difference. Local healthcare systems may have longer wait times or limited access to the latest treatment options.

The award granted to VUMI®

falls within this context, recognizing the companies that have best responded to these dynamics.

Why is VUMI® the best International Private Medical Insurance (IPMI)?

The Awards Jury evaluated aspects that included innovation, accessibility, global presence, financial strength and user experience. VUMI® stood out in these areas:

Adaptability and true customization

One of the determining factors was My VIP Care™, VUMI’s new customizable plan, also awarded Best Non-Vital Protection Product by the International Investment Awards. This plan allows for more than 10,000 coverage combinations according to each person’s needs, reflecting the clearest trend in the sector: flexibility backed by technological support.

Global presence and regulatory compliance

VUMI® operates in Latin America, Canada, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, Oceania and Europe. It also has regulated entities in Puerto Rico, Canada, Ecuador, Panama and Malta. This demonstrates the company’s ability to adapt to demanding regulatory environments while maintaining its commitment to providing VIP service.

Financial strength

VUMI®‘s stability is one of its cornerstones. Sustained growth and debt-free operations ensure continuity and confidence. While other companies have faced challenges – some insurmountable – VUMI® remains steadfast in protecting its policyholders with full support.

Access to a world-class hospital network

A VUMI® insured has access to more than 7,000 hospitals in over 100 countries. There are also strategic alliances with renowned institutions such as the Jackson Health System in Florida and Clínica Universidad de Navarra in Spain. This opens doors to timely access to high-quality medical care, no matter where the policyholder is located.
This Award not only positions VUMI® as a leader in the sector, but also reaffirms the company’s commitment to innovation, VIP service, and to safeguarding the well-being of the families who put their trust in the company.

"This recognition reinforces our commitment to providing world-class healthcare solutions.,” comments David Rendall, CEO and President of VUMI® Group. “It confirms that together we are making a difference in the lives of thousands of families."
