About us

CONNEX Assistance Middle East was founded in 1999 by a team of medical professionals looking to provide tourists and international companies a higher quality of medical assistance services that meet international standards. Since then, the company has grown from a single office in Cairo, to three operational branch offices in the Middle East and a medical service provider network covering 12 countries including Egypt, UAE, Sudan, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Somalia, Uganda, and Eritrea. Since its inception, CONNEX Assistance Middle East has been synonymous with high quality medical, technical, funeral, and legal assistance. These services coupled with our ability for cost containment means our level of service is second to none.

EGYPT
In Egypt, the tourism industry has boomed and the country continues to be a popular hot-spot all year round with great weather and a rich cultural history. As a result, the number of insurance clients has grown exponentially and we are here to help provide the services needed to insurance and assistance companies worldwide with an unfathomable level of service,


The CONNEX Assistance Middle East regional head office is based in Cairo and we have satellite offices in Alexandria, Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, and Luxor. Our medical network comprises over 800 medical facilities and diagnostic centres across the country enabling us to extensively cover the whole of Egypt and extend our reach to even the most remote areas like Saint Catherine’s Oasis and the Kharaga and Dakhla Oases in the Western Desert.

CONNEX Assistance Middle East contacts throughout the country means we gets things done quickly, easily and with a level of transparency unprecedented in Egypt so you always know what is happening. It is important to us that you can get immediate responses to critical cases without going through the red-tape which sometimes means it is a difficult and slow process. We have the right people in the right places at the right time to make sure things always get done when you want them done.

UAE
Following a surge in the number of cases handled in the Arabian Peninsula, we proceeded to extend our reach and open a UAE branch office in Dubai in 2008, followed by a satellite office in Abu Dhabi in 2009.

In addition to being a hugely popular tourist destination, Dubai has grown to become an important international trade and business hub. And with assistance being a relatively new field in the Gulf, having a team on the ground with over 10 years experience has allowed us to fill the gap for full-service assistance that is highly responsive, efficient and cost effective.


AFRICA

Economic woes and political instability means that certain African countries are difficult to operate in. CONNEX Assistance Middle East set up a branch office in Khartoum, Sudan in 2007 to help address this, and this office now serves as a regional hub handling most cases in Sub-Saharan Africa including countries such as Uganda, Somalia, Eritrea and others.
We are one of a small handful of companies that offer full service medical, technical, funeral, and legal assistance in this region in addition to cost containment services.

Throughout the region CONNEX Assistance Middle East is commited to providing the utmost in quality assistance services. Be it an air or sea repatriation, investigation services, or a simple doctors visit, we ensure that we have the best interests of your company and you insureds in mind.
