Sham, the mutual insurance company specialized in the health and socio-health sector, parent of the European group Relyens, has expanded the guarantees of Civil Liability (CR) contracts of its European mutuals, since last March 13, to face the current worldwide health emergency, generated by the expansion of Covid-19.
In this way, the aforementioned insurer adds that “this extension in the assurance of professional CR will allow doctors, regardless of the specialty declared in the insurance policy, to have coverage against third-party claims derived from actions related to the care of Covid-19 patients during this period of health crisis ”.
“Since the beginning of this unprecedented global health emergency, Sham has been coordinating an Action Plan at the European level to fully support the health sector. At this time, institutions and professionals find a common work front, which displaces some of them from their field of specialty, therefore, they must have all the guarantees so that they can continue to protect us from the coronavirus (Covid-19) until Together we can stop this pandemic, ”says Sham's executive director in Spain, Philippe Paul.
