Priscillah Ndadi, Botswana Life Chief Operations Officer said “in recent years, there are many challenges we overcome as a Nation, however, we have certainly many challenges still to come on the horizon, due to the health and socioeconomic effects of the pandemic as well as global unrest”. As a corporate citizen, therefore, she said “we are committed to finding and providing purposeful and relevant solutions dedicated to improving the lives of our customers”.
Botswana Life will be responsible for distributing this product and carrying out the necessary administration services. This cover will entitle the policyholders and their dependents to several benefits and services, inclusive of but not limited to;
- Emergency medical response by road or air to scene of medical emergency

To access the benefits of EA991, the policyholder calls 991 to make a claim, and Emergency Assist 991 will dispatch the most appropriate emergency medical assistance. “Forming this partnership came naturally to us, as both Botswana Life and Emergency Assist 991 have a common interest of being of service to Batswana and being able to be of assistance to them even beyond our borders. We are constantly seeking ways to add value to our clients through nuanced solutions that leave a lasting impact in the lives of those we serve.
