Orient Insurance PJSC, the leading UAE insurance provider and subsidiary of Al-Futtaim, together with Allianz Partners, today announced the launch of Sphera, a new suite of international healthcare plans designed for expats and their families living in Dubai and the Northern Emirates.

The portfolio offers four-tiered options, Essence, Base, Enhanced and Signature, designed to be a competitive solution and suit a range of needs and budgets. While the structure is simplified, customers can still tailor their cover through optional add-ons, such as dental and enhanced maternity coverage, ensuring flexibility without unnecessary complexity.
The plans include additional services such as: Expat Assistance Programme

- Health and Wellness support programme
- Second Medical Opinion Service
Customers also benefit from access to digital tools such as the MyHealth Digital Services and Lumi app, providing convenient access to services, Health and Wellness support programme, documentation, and health-related resources throughout the policy lifecycle.
