ICA develops insurance solutions that are tailored to the Afghan market needs that is always supported by top ‘’A’’ rated reinsurance markets. One of its flagship products is it’s unique group personal accidents & terrorism insurance that is catered for market needs , while its refined new development — healthcare plus — is finding favour across a broad market base as ICA introduced Assist America emergency Medical EVAC services, the 1st of its kind in the local market offering additional peace of mind to both humanitarian as well as to major organisations.
